How long do silicone baking mats last?

A quality silicone baking mat typically lasts 2,000 3,000 uses, which translates to 3 5 years for most home bakers. Premium brands like Silpat can last even longer with proper care. To maximize lifespan, avoid cutting on the mat, don't fold them (roll instead), and wash gently with warm soapy water rather than abrasive scrubbers.
