        Home Depot, Lowes, and Walmart around here. If you are looking for plain black you can check the sporting goods stores.

        Be careful if you are trying to match tiles you currently have. Many of them have a proprietary notch that won't fit another brand.

            I would love a visual of what everyone is talking about, they sound great - but I'm just not sure I know what they are.

              Does anyone know how to keep/get these clean? I have tried everything I can think of, even magic eraser and a power washer and they still have ground in dirt

              Also- is there any why to fix the scratches that get in the surface? I bought a new dollhouse over the weekend and it scratched the mats in a circular pattern when they were opening it and closing it (it had knubs on the bottom that I have now shaved off!)

                  now I thought they had some sort of recall with these mats. Something to do with the rubber material it is made with.

                    Honestly, They are so inexpensive that it wouldn't be terrible to replace them every year. I cleaned them with a swiffer wet jet or on my knees with a rag and MR. Clean. I've never had a problem.

                      Thank you, I actually have those.

                      OP, we were doing a large area last year and wound up ordering them from Amazon. They were cheaper than in store, but the shipping was expensive, especially since I miscalculated and didn't order enough so I had to pay shipping twice

                        There are some that we recalled in Belgium and France in 2010. However, not here and they are OK now..

                          These are great. I don't have that same one, mine are the older ones that had the strip that went around them. The trim came off quick, because the little kids soon learned they could pull that off to play with and I didn't want them thinking the floor was puzzle fun-

                          I take mine right up and wash them. Spray them down with a cleaner and hose them off or stick them in the shower if weather is not working out. Then puzzle them back down. I do this every so often. For everyday cleaning, I just vacuum them and spot wash with baby wipes or if I don't want to pull them up I just just hand wash them with a bucket and rag and cleaner. You do want to pull them up every so often as dirt builds up under just as a rug would.

                          They get worn out after a while but they are great for the most part! I have this set going on over 3 years.
