I have a large Fiskars self healing cutting mat that I use on my scrap table. Everything I do while scrapping is done on that mat. As a result, it has glue, pen marks, ATG tape, ink marks all over it. I tried cleaning it with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and hardly anything came off. It still looks dirty.
What do you use to clean yours? I know I can always just turn it over to the pink side but I really really like the blue side!

Definitely UnDo. Nothing works as well on my big Fiskars mat. It won't get it spotless if it has older stains but it does pretty well, especially if you clean it pretty often when it's new.

I have an Olfa mat and I use a Clorox wipe, scrape it with my Cricut spatula tool, then use another wipe. It's not "like new" but much cleaner.

Will regular UnDo work?

Try spraying some Windex Multi Purpose cleaner (the kind with vinegar) on it and let it sit. Heck, regular vinegar may work if you don't have the MP cleaner around. The vinegar will help cut through the inks and adhesives. Wipe it down before it all dries and reapply if necessary.
I spray my mat down once a month or so and it helps to not let it all build up. I use a baby wipe to clean up after any messy project. Because there isn't any water in my studio and the kitchen is at least 10 feet away!

I often use rubbing alcohol to clean adhesive and gunk off of things.
Nail polish remover works too on scissors, tools etc. but not sure I would use it on a mat, it might take the numbers off.

Not sure about the marker - I'd try whatever would be considered a solvent for the kind of ink. I'm pretty sure I got the adhesive off of mine with an eraser. The white clickable kind or an artist gum eraser.

Once you get it cleaned good, keep cleaning it! I have a big one on my table top (the table is crap) and I use baby wipes to clean it. Those baby wipes are awesome. I use them to clean my Cricut mats and also they get the stickiness off of my spatula that I use to get stuff off of my cricut mats.
