Description
Anyone who has field stripped an AR-15 knows how fast small parts can wander off across a bench or table. The TekMat AR-15 Cleaning Mat gives you a full 12 by 36 inches of dedicated space to spread out a completely disassembled rifle with room left over for your tools, pins, springs, and cleaning supplies. It lays flat, grips the surface, and keeps your workflow tidy from the first pin punch to final reassembly.
Why the TekMat AR-15 Mat Earns Its Bench Space
The top is a soft polyester fiber surface that won't scratch your upper, lower, or optic while you work, and it shrugs off oil, water, and cleaning solvents. Underneath sits a 1/8 inch vulcanized rubber backing that adds real cushioning and keeps the mat planted so it won't slide around mid-job. That combination also stops harsh chemicals and dirt from soaking through to your bench, kitchen table, or wherever you happen to be wrenching.
The Printed AR-15 Diagram That Doubles as a Cheat Sheet
What sets this mat apart from a plain shop rag or foam pad is the full-color exploded parts diagram printed right into the surface. It's a genuine reference for identifying components during cleaning, disassembly, and reassembly, which is a big help for newer builders and a nice time saver for anyone who has ever hunted for the manual mid-teardown. TekMat uses a dye-sublimation printing process that bonds the ink into the fibers instead of silkscreening it on top, so the graphics stay sharp and won't flake or fade with repeated use and washing.
Built to Take a Beating and Roll Up When You're Done
This mat is made to hold up to regular shop abuse. It's machine washable on a gentle cycle for quick cleanup after a messy session, and there are no loose fibers to work their way into your action. When you're finished, it rolls up for easy storage alongside the rest of your cleaning gear or tucks into a range bag for work at the bench or in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the TekMat AR-15 cleaning mat and will it fit a full rifle?
The mat measures 12 inches by 36 inches, which is sized to hold a fully disassembled AR-15 with extra room for tools and small parts. That oversized footprint means you can lay out your upper, lower, bolt carrier group, and hardware without shuffling everything around. It's a generous, dedicated workspace for teardowns and builds alike.
Does the AR-15 cleaning mat protect against oil and solvents?
Yes. The soft polyester top surface resists oil, water, and cleaning solvents, so spills wipe up instead of soaking in. The 1/8 inch rubber backing adds another barrier that keeps chemicals and grime from reaching your bench or table underneath.
Is the parts diagram on the TekMat AR-15 mat actually useful?
It is more than decoration. The printed exploded diagram lays out the AR-15's components so you can reference them during cleaning, disassembly, and reassembly. New builders find it especially handy for identifying parts, and experienced folks like having a quick visual guide right on the bench.
Can I wash the TekMat AR-15 cleaning mat when it gets dirty?
You can. The mat is machine washable on a gentle cycle, and it's best to air dry it afterward. Because the graphics are dye-sublimated into the fibers rather than printed on top, they won't flake or fade from regular cleaning.
