I would like to use this mat to make roti canal which requires sprinkling ghee on the working surface. Would ghee stain the mat and be hard to wash?

The mat'a is super slippery so that clarified butter (ghee) would not sink in or stain. The mat is floppy so not easy to control in the sink, but other than that, it's easy to wash.

It's not hard to wash. You can wipe with a damp cloth. It's a little bulky for the sink. I don't know what ghee is but I don't think it stains easily. Maybe something red like berries or beets would stain it. Bleach would probably take stains out.

Every piece of information I have on this product states it is for carpet use. Personally, I wouldn't use it in the laundry. There are other products I would use. If the item is white I would probably use bleach unless the material wouldn't tolerate it. I have also used vinegar in the water. I have found that regular washing removes the stain and odor. You might try emailing Bissell and asking them. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help.

I highly doubt it. Washer will be a little rough on the mat. I usually wash it by just rinsing it with dish detergent and sponge and then let it dry by itself. It dries quite quickly when I just air-dry it

Well the mat is not absorbent. The water would be retained on top. Depending on the amount of water I wouldn't think so.

I am using the mat on concrete, so I'm not sure if it would stain carpet, but I don't believe it would. I would ask the manufacturer to be sure.

I doubt you can, but there are sprays you can buy specifically for yoga mats that have tea tree oil in them for sanitation. I occasionally wipe mine with vinegar and water, but I'm not sure the manufacturer would recommend it. It will depend in what kind if yoga you do also, I get pretty sweaty doing Ashtunga, but if your into Hatha or some other gentle form you may not create too much grime!

Have not used it for play dough, but used it once for marshmallow fondant... it did stain my hands when mixing the color, but it's very easy to wash from your hands... the color does not transfer as much after I rested the fondant (in plastic bags), so in all yes, it stains, but not so much it will stain forever, as long as you wash your hands with warm water and light soap.

I would echo the other response. The actual mat is waterproof. While the manufacturer would likely not approve I removed the blue fuzzy cover as the hair was impossible to clean off and substituted pillow cases which washed easier.

The mat is made up of plastic bottles. I have soaked it in a tub, or have even run it in the washing machine if is not too dirty. Hang to dry, or put in a dryer for 5 minutes. Be careful it will shrink if put in the dryer. I have been using the same mat for one year and clean it weekly. It does not hold odor and is very durable.

Yes. You can take the mat part off and wash it - in fact I recently washed ours because my daughter spit up on it quite a few times.

The water cannot seep through the mat surface. If you let the mat sit on the counter top and build up water, that water might overflow and then go under the mat. To keep the mat from getting wet or slimy it should be hung to dry (or dried with towel) after use and the counter dried too.

I think if its tile floor or vct tile no problem but if its mastic glueNo you need to use remover like a striper so you can stain

Given the fact that it is solid foamy vinyl stuff, I wouldn't hesitate to throw it into a large washer. You probably wouldn't want to wash it on hot, of course. Or you could take it outside and hose it off. I scrubbed my floor before putting the mats down. So when it comes time to scrub the floor again, I'll just scrub the mats along with it. But I put regular kitchen rugs over them, so they shouldn't get too dirty anyway. Just wash the rugs. This information is worth about what you pay for it. You might want to google the manufacturer.

I use it for craft sink. Still I keep a rubber sink mat in it and dry every time I am not a fan or stainless steel sinks but paint and dye have not stained itI do use barkeeper cleaner

Sure thing. You must hand wash the slip cover and the mat you just damp/spot clean. Remember you are not to use any oils or lotions when using this mat.

Hello, This mat is washable but I would not recommend it as peed pad, since it is not meant to minimize smells or hold too much fluids. I hope this helps.

The mat is water repellent, so it does not absorb into the mat. Juice should not leave a stain either. You should not leave anythiing hot on it though, as that will leave a permanent impression on the surface. I set a tea cup on it (when my child was not around, of course), and it left an indent. :(
