Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Tipton Cleaning Mat handle harsh gun-cleaning solvents like Hoppes No. 9 or CLP?
Yes. The neoprene construction is resistant to the oils and chemical solvents commonly used in firearm maintenance, including products like Hoppe's No. 9, CLP, and bore-cleaning solutions. The mat absorbs excess liquid rather than allowing it to pool, protecting both your firearm and your workbench surface. After use, simply hand wash the mat with mild soap and warm water and allow it to air dry.
Is this mat large enough to fully disassemble a handgun or rifle?
The 12"×24" surface is well-suited for field-stripping and cleaning most handguns, revolvers, and shotguns, providing enough room to lay out components and keep small parts contained. For full detail-strip work on longer rifles, the mat is best used to protect the action and smaller components while the barrel rests on a separate support. It's an excellent all-around solution for pistol and compact firearm maintenance.
How do I clean and maintain the Tipton Cleaning Mat?
The Tipton Cleaning Mat is hand washable, making upkeep simple. After use, rinse or hand wash the mat with warm water and a mild detergent to remove accumulated solvents, oils, and carbon residue. Avoid machine washing or using harsh bleach-based cleaners, as these can degrade the neoprene over time. Allow the mat to air dry completely before rolling it up for storage or transport.
