Cleaning Battlemats?

[diaglo]

That thread OP suggested brake cleaner. That contains such carcinogenic goodness like toluene, hexanes, xylenes, and in some cases methylene chloride. I can email you an MSDS if you like. Or you can just stay far far away from the stuff.

it works too.

i bought a used Chessex battlemat with an old stain on it and removed it with the brake cleaner.

BTW Battlemat [tm] seems to be Chessex's name. Combat Mat is Crystal Caste's. what other names do these go by?

Steel Sqwire has Flip-Mat: http://www.steelsqwire.com/prod01.htm

you can use wet erase, dry erase, and Sharpies on the thing.

We always stick to brown and green as these seem to stain the least on a Battlemat.

Yes, acetone will turn a vinyl mat white: ink, background and lines go poof.

Have to give baby wipes a try.

All ya gotta do is wear some nitrile gloves and use it in an open space, MSDS tend to be pretty dramatic too. Just don't breath it or get it on your skin.

There's a bunch of old threads on this topic FYI. Yeah DON'T use acetone on a vinyl mat. I use water or Windex on my mat but its not vinyl. Don't use red markers. They're bad. Black works best IMHO but don't leave it on overnight.
