If you’ve applied too much adhesive to your Cricut mat, or simply dislike how sticky it is, there is something you can do to reduce the stickiness.
Lay a towel over the Cricut mat and roll over the towel with a rolling pin. Do this a few times before peeling the towel off. The mat should be less sticky. Repeat if necessary.
However, it might now have lint and debris on it, so you might need to wash it.
Cricut mats come in varying levels of stickiness. The strongest ones are too sticky for paper. Make sure you choose the right stickiness level for your project.
