How long do these mats hold up? Can they stand up to being removed, cleaned, and put back together more than once?

The mats hold up very well. I keep my mats outside under the porch to protect the kids from falls on our concreted area. I would not use anything too strong to clean these mats with, as this may break down the material that they are made of. With that said, I give them a good wiping with anti-bacterial wipes and they seem to hold up very well. I am very pleased with these mats and they provide a level of cushioning that puts my mind at ease. I hope this helps!

Yes, they are very durable and can be cleaned in place or separately. We have cleaned them with diluted bleach several times with no detected damage or deformation.

I have installed several in front of the workbench in the garage. They have lasted for several years, and several puppies

I've only had them for a few months, but they seem pretty sturdy. I doubt removing, cleaning, and replacing would cause them to fail very quickly at all.

Well, I've had them over a month in a studio workshop, pretty active area, and they're still like new. I use a damp mop to go over them once or twice a week. Made from recycled tires, so they're pretty tough and solid. Time will tell, but so far I'm happy with them.

I typically use them about 50 times before replacing both pads and mat. The adhesive loses it's stickiness and the foil on the pads wears along where you fold it.

I took off my carpet mats and replaced them with these. The front mats may not lay well, or at all, if you leave the carpet mats in place. However in the back I'm sure you could leave the original carpet mats but I removed them. Why not just take them away?

So far, I have just used these mats for my cookies and they look like brand new still. I have had similar experiences with other mats and just threw those out.

Hard to say how long they will last as that depends on the surface of the floor (the smoother the longer they will last, the rougher, the quicker they will wear, think of sand paper wearing them down). Ours are 6 months old on stools used at a kitchen island on a new smooth hardwood floor, so slid multiple times per day and so far they look almost as good as new, with slight crushing, but that would be expected with felt from day one when it gets compressed the first time. For the price, and how they are holding up so far I would recommend them. Take it for what it is worth, but I am an electrical engineer who works with electrical and non-electrical consumer products.

I haven't had a problem with the three ordered or the two more I ordered after that for another area. I really like these mats. Clean up great. Has a slight raised edge as expected, but they are really protect feet, knees and back while working on tile floors.

They'll hold just fine, even better actually if they're kept clean. I've noticed the only time it falls off is when it gets dirty so a quick clean and it sticks fine again.

Well I have been able to surface clean them with no problem. I have two cats. The problem I have is that the cushion cover rolls and does not stay in place so every two or three months I unzip it and reposition it. I would use Dawn and warm water to spot clean them. I bought two. I think they are a good choice if you have kids....low cost, light weight and can take a little abuse.

You would remove the original rug type mats. These are more wet, sloppy weather mats. Very heavy duty/thick mats that use the same snap holes as the original. The rubber mats have a slight satin texture that is somewhat difficult to clean dirt off. I changed out the mats during the rainy season or when I take the car to the shop for work so the nice rug mats don't get trashed.

Mine have stood up extremely well to multiple washes - no issues of wear and tear here!

I have not had any issues with using my mat. I do not have the data on what they are made of, but I imagine this might be listed in the product details.

These mats are made of cardboard/matboard. They came with a "back" of the same material which would, in my opinion, hold up with signatures well.

I have had mine for 4 months and they have held up to my abuse, when I'm done I usually just toss them aside and they don't even have a scratch on them. Not to mention that they also feel like a tank when you hold them.

I clean mine by hand but, they seem pretty sturdy. I'd think it shouldn't be an issue.

I dont think you can take them apart but possibly steam cleaning would work. I have only had mine a month and a half. Doubled on covering so I wont worry about it too often.

I think technically they can last up to 6 months with proper/gentle sanitation practices, although it will become quite obvious when its time for a new one because they will start to disintegrate a bit...

In my opinion, I think it could work. That is a very clever idea! Since they are peel and stick, removing them shouldn't be too bad. Mine have stayed on the floor pretty well without coming up, but I also haven't tried pulling them up since I want them to stay. Once you get one up, getting the rest should be easy. Good luck, hope it works out!
