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.

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.

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.

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...

I am sure hosing them off would suffice for your intended use. We have 3 mats and use them inside at door areas. We are very satisfied with their performance .

probably. thats what im getting them for. i got some very inexpensive ones at big lots about 2 years ago. they are still in fine condition though very dirty.i would imagine these would be at least as good. (this has been 2 years year round, all weather of snow, sun, rain in portland, oregon.) my play area is one of those plastic fisherprice deals for younger kids. i wouldnt consider these mats as a fall-safety item from anything higher than a couple of feet, if that.)

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 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.

yes. They are great mats and the person I bought them for loves them. I believe I bought them over 2 years ago & they still look great & are in great condition

Ours are two years old and still look great. They are made of a plastic/composite type material that can easily be cleaned to look new.

I have only had my boards for about 2 months, but so far so good. I have a couple that seem like they will be impossible to clean comletely but none are warped or bent and they are used about 1xweek. I have 3 groups using them and I am happy overall with the quality, especially considering the price. Prior to now, I was limited to Dollar store but those were horrible and broke after a couple of uses. Hope this helps :)

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.

They last quite a while, I cleaned mine and reused them for a few parties and they're still going.

I've had a couple of the mats for 5-6 years- they have no moving parts and are waterproof, probably the biggest danger to their longevity would be putting sharp bends in the cord.

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!

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.

Although I have not done so myself, they do appear to be of sturdy enough construction to do so. I have simply wiped mine clean with a damp cloth but if they ever require a deeper cleaning, I would not hesitate to put them in the washing machine.
