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.

Mine have stood up pretty well. No scratches (unlike the table, which is all scratched up). They are not super sturdy; but they are sturdy enough for my use, which is fairly light.

They have held up great. They might be good for hardwood floors if you put a rubber mat down the size of the base. They are medal.

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.

I clean mine everyday and they last me about 6 months. I have 2 cats and two boxes side by side for them at all times. I highly recommend them!

I never bought any used but I would buy them used because they are extremely durable and mine look brand new after I power wash them...I work in heavy construction and I out my mats to the test everyday.

I get at LEAST 2 YEARS of usage from mine, before they then begin to tear a couple of inches from each of their ends, during the type of back-scrubbing motions as exhibited on their packages' front. If you don't routinely scrub your back in this manner, I'd imagine they would last you at least FOUR years. (By the way, once they do become shorter from their ends tearing off, I THEN use the "spent," smaller cloth for pot-scrubbing, shower-stall or sink cleaning, etc., for a few MORE years of usage).

I have 4 grandchildren and 2 dogs who play on this mat 5 days a week and it has taken it's share of abuse, but has held up very well. I have had my 2 mats for about 2 years and they still look new. They are so easy to clean. I would highly recommend this mat!

You probably don't need to remove the mats, but I do. I pull them up in Spring and scrub them down with bleach water and store them in the garage. I also take the time to wipe down the cord(s) as well. Putting them out in mid Fall and checking the connectors is done about the same time I cover the air conditioner and clean the windows.

Yes these maintain very well. I use each mat 10-15 times a day and they look brand new and show no sign of use after several months. They are silicone though and the top layer of silicone mats can be cut by sharp enough biscuit or cookie cutters so be careful. They are in my opinions better then the half sheet sil pat or sil mat. I have had them up to 550 degrees without problem.

Recommended cleaning is soapy water and they are dishwasher safe. I haven't used mine yet, but the mats look like they should be very easy to clean.

They are made of plastic so they will probably last quite a while. You just have to clean them up every so often.

I placed the matts under my living room rug as a crash pad for the kids and a fun and comfortable living space. They are on top of hardwood floor and don't move around at all. They seem pretty firm and havnt lost much of the firmness but I expect they will soften up with time. I've had them for about 12 months now. I'm sure with time it will loose thickness in high traffic areas. They are probably not as good as what you would find in a karate or jiu jitsu studio but so far just as good. Hope this helps. Also, find the cheapest one even if it's not a prime item sometimes it's cheaper to pay the shipping.

I've used mine for several months now and trust me when I say, we've put them to the test in so many ways. They do not shed, tear, or come apart in any way. We follow the washing instructions exactly and do not put them in the dryer (also no bleach) and they stand up remarkably well. I planned to order more after the current batch wears out, but I'm not sure when that will be since they stand up so very well.

They are very hardy, but like all things will get dirty and also wear out. We use them in our church's baby room so they've taken a lot of damage. They can get scuffed easily but any dirt that's on them can be wiped off. Not sure how they'll stand up with people running on them especially with shoes on and how they might stand up against weather damage. At our home outside, we use one of those grey weight lifting/exercise mats. Those are designed to be used in people's garages and have held up pretty well.

No. They come with a filled bag inside and are not meant to be taken apart or reused. They do last quite some time and are small and discrete.

I maybe would wash them once or twice. More than that I don't think they would survive. It's a cheap material, you can tear it with your fingers. On the plus you can just order more they were cheap.
