Tips........one every fortnight!

I was going to publish a tip of the week, but it seems more reasonable to me, to publish them every 2 weeks, or a "fortnight"

This tip comes from Olfa. 

CARING FOR YOUR OLFA CUTTING MAT

In order to clean and condition your green Olfa rotary mat, you can actually give it a bath.
Put your mat in the bathtub and use 1/4 cup white vinegar to a gallon of tepid (not hot)
water, and a couple of drops (squirt! squirt!) of a mild dishwashing soap.

Using a mild bristle brush, create a lather and gently

clean and condition your mat. Rinse the mat and let air dry or dry with a  towel.

The mats love moisture. It helps keep them supple.

Be sure to store them flat and out of direct sunlight.
