đ§˝ How to Clean Your Silicone Craft Mat (Without Losing Your Mind)
So, youâve been busy pouring, painting, and peeling on your brand-new silicone craft mat. The paint has dried, the peel-off part was fun⌠but now youâre staring at a million little stuck-on bits. And suddenly the cleanup feels like it could take forever.
Donât worry â weâve got you covered. Here are the quickest, easiest ways to get your mat looking fresh again.
đ The Classic Method: Soapy Water + Scrub
Silicone is durable, so you donât need to baby it. If paint or resin bits have dried onto your mat:
- Soak the mat in warm, soapy water (a sink or tub works perfectly).
- Use a sponge with a scrubby back (non-metal) to gently scrub away the residue.
- Rinse and air dry â your mat will look good as new.
This method works great if youâve let things sit for a while or have thicker paint patches.
đŻ The Fast Fix: Packing Tape
Need a quicker solution? Reach for the packing tape.
- Press a strip of tape over the dried paint or glitter.
- Lift it off â the tape grabs the bits instantly.
- Repeat as needed until the mat is spotless.
Itâs oddly satisfying and way faster than scrubbing.
