I have used double-sided tape on the mat to keep it sticky.

Here's a blog with lots of suggestions - and then she says what is the best at the bottom of the page:

I use quilt basting spray from the quilting dept. ...give a quick spray over the mat, let dry a min. or two and it is better than new. It will have to be reprayed after a few uses- but it has worked great for me.

I wash mine with soap and warm water...let them dry then use Elmer's Repositional Glue. It's a glue stick and you can just slide it back and forth over the mat. Works great for me.

There are lots of videos on YouTube about this topic too.

I use Scotch repositionable glue stick on mine. I scrap off as much of the previous residue as I can, then apply the glue stick. I've had my original mats for almost 7 years.
