I cannot find a way to clean this mat? I have tried many different ways but I can't get the cat hair or dust off of it.

Try using Dawn dish soap and a scrub brush to clean off any dust or cat hair that may accumulate on the mat, then just rinse. It works great, just make certain you use a double dose of the dish soap.

two was I would suggest either like some type of liquid soap and a scrub brush and then hose down- will take a little to dry but not long if leave out in sun. that's probably best to get a more deep cleaning. On a week to week basis I just use sweeper I use in my home and just take off brush attachment and sweep the rug.

The Everholder FURemover Broom may be the solution. I have several dogs and cats and deal with lots of hair and litter. I use this broom every day and it works better than any other broom I've ever tried. It's sturdy and hair and litter doesn't fly around when you're sweeping. Definitely worth a try.

I wipe it down with simple green to remove the grease that spills on the mat. Hope this is helpful.

Great question. The best way to clear the mats is to use a light solvent like windex, baby wipes, swiffer solution or soap with warm water & a towel.

I actually haven't tried cleaning it yet (I don't use it everyday) I would try alcohol or a general Pledge product (for cleaning everything from TVs to windows). Hope that helps!

I'd also like to know about the cat "Yak" as we call it. Since no one has answered the first poster I guess I'll just have to get the vacuum and give it a try. Can't be any worse than cleaning it by hand and hopefully it will be better.

Hi Bethany, unfortunately for my case, this thing never worked. No vacuum at all. Even if it did, I think it will be too tiny to work for a cat litter.

I now it is gross to deal with, but when my cat coughs up a hairball, before I clean it with the machine, I use a paint/scraper spatula and scrape it up onto a paper plate to discard. Less cumbersome and yucky as paper towels and gets up more stuff. Try it.

Hi Susan - About cat hair and your Berber carpet - If the hair is sitting on the surface of the carpet and not entangled in the hook of the Berber - Here is what I would do - spray water on the surface so the hair become damp and are more likely to stick together. Then I would use the flat side of this rubber broom. The flat side acts in the same way a wiper does to clear a window of water. You would be raking the fur into a pile..then physically picking it up. I love this broom...use it all of the time. Friends and family are amazed when then see how easy it is to scrape dust, dirt etc all into a pile. When you use a broom, debris gets lost in the straw of the broom and often gets redistributed. Back to your question. I have another Amazon purchase that I love. It is a Black and Decker 18 (I think) Volt rechargeable hand vacuum. It has a nozzle that would suck up dry cat hair. Then you would empty the plastic waste container...which is easy to do. What I think would work well is a damp sponge in hand... wiping the baseboard as well as the carpet. Tossing the hair in a trash bag. Remember the hair is on the surface and you don't want to embed the hair in the Berber. Just wipe it, clear it, vacuum off the top. I hope that this answer is helpful. Best regards, S.

Answer here...not tha t I know of all of these products either clean surfaces or keep cats from resparaying. You may want to try one of the products for cleaning like the extra strong cleaner. It does kill odors and the reason your cat is scratching an area on the rug probably is because there is a smell that is attracting the cat. try the extra strong cleaner first. in any case it will clean very well.

You would need to first vacuum up the cat hair. Then use the he Bona Motion Hardwood Floor Mop to get the floor clean when you spray on the Bona cleaner. I always vacuum my hardwood floors, then use the Bona Motion mop to spray and clean. It's a GREAT mop.

I stopped using it on my own hair because it smells. Now I use it to brush the cat. It is difficult to clean, but then it is difficult to clean cat hair off of anything.

Had no problem with our mat. It also came rolled up in a carton and as I recall it was during cold weather. We just unrolled it and as I recall placed the curled area down until it straightened out and then turned it over the way it should be. This may have taken a day or so, but not as long as you have been dealing with it. Might want to try using a hair dryer that you can direct the heat on to the areas that don't want to lay down???? Would be worth a try. Good luck.

First, I sweep off any dust particles or crumbs then, I use a light warm damp cloth to clean the mat. If you choose a lighter colored mat (I have dark brown), then you may have to be careful what type of cleaner in case any coloring gets on mat. Otherwise, water and cloth or sponge is best way to go.

It isn't hard to clean. It's just the tiny holes that might give you a little trouble. My cat had an accident and I was able to clean it up pretty quick. After having said all that, it's the best mat I have ever owned! I push the mat forward under the box and there is little to no tracking for me! I wish you luck!

Make the investment into PetSafe ScatMat. Counters, doorways, beds, furniture, place a mat any where you want to teach your pet to stay off. My pet only had to touch it twice and now takes a long walk around it to avoid it. I tried turning it off, thinking my pet got the message. I think because the mat does give off a clicking sound, he figured out when it was on or off. So now I just leave it on all the time. And the plus to using it, I've saved beyond the cost of the ScatMat just in cleaning products.
