How do I wash flexible cutting boards and silicone baking sheets?

Question

Flexible tools like thin cutting boards and silicone baking sheets are wonderful to use, but I hate cleaning them. They don't hold their form well enough to wash by hand OR set in the dishwasher. I resort to setting them on something firm first, which I then have to wash additionally afterwards.

Tell me there's a better way?

There has been no problem laying them flat on the top rack of a dishwasher. The water spray may move them around, or rarely fold them over so rewashing is needed, but no harm is done.

Over the top of all my cups and mugs you mean? – adamdport Nov 02 '15 at 23:41
Without other items is best... if the mat covers something, that item won't get washed well. – DrMoishe Pippik Nov 04 '15 at 00:17
the mat would take up MOST of my top rack. I'd practically have to run a cycle just for one mat? – adamdport Nov 04 '15 at 00:56
