Regular cleaning prevents dirt buildup and extends the life of your chair mat. The best method depends on the material. The following table provides guidance:

| Glass | Clean with glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. | Weekly or as needed. | Avoid using excessive force, which could cause cracking. |

Preventing Common Chair Mat Problems
Curling, wrinkles, and sticking are common issues. Curling often results from temperature changes or improper flattening upon initial use. To prevent this, allow the mat to acclimate to room temperature before use and carefully flatten it, using heavy objects if necessary. Wrinkles can be minimized by ensuring a smooth, even surface underneath the mat. Sticking can be caused by adhesives or residue. Regular cleaning and the use of a mat protector (for mats with adhesive backing) can help prevent this.
Chair Mat Storage
Proper storage protects your chair mat from damage when not in use. For mats without adhesive backing, thoroughly clean the mat and allow it to dry completely. Roll the mat tightly with the surface facing inward, securing it with a strap or rope. Store it in a cool, dry place. For mats with an adhesive backing, carefully remove the mat and clean the adhesive residue from the floor. Store the mat in its original packaging or a protective covering to prevent damage.
