How Do I Clean a Dog Lick Mat?

Quick Answer: Most silicone lick mats are dishwasher safe on the top rack — the easiest and most hygienic cleaning method. For hand washing: warm soapy water, a scrubbing brush to get into the texture zones, rinse thoroughly. Clean after every use — wet food residue left in texture channels grows bacteria quickly. Our lick mat is dishwasher safe and designed for easy cleaning.

Dishwasher Method

  • Top rack only — prevents warping from high heat elements
  • Normal cycle — same as other kitchenware
  • No special setting needed

Hand Washing Method

  • Warm water with standard dish soap
  • Scrubbing brush or bottle brush — gets into texture channels
  • Rinse thoroughly — no soap residue
  • Air dry or towel dry before storing

For Frozen Lick Mats

Let the frozen lick mat defrost slightly before washing — easier to clean once the filling has softened. Or soak in warm water for 5 minutes first.
