 Don't buy a new mat clean it up and use it more.
(1) soak your Cricut mat in warm soapy water 5-10 minutes.

(2/3) spray to keep your mat wet when scrapping your mat off. what I think works best is (Close to my heart, My acriylix spritz # 1778)

(3) something to scrap the glue and gunk off.

 (4) I find that Close to my heart Bonding memories glue works to get it sticky again # 1512.
