Steps to Wash Your Mousepad

  1. Prepare the Cleaning Solution: Fill a sink or a large bowl or bucket with warm water. Add a few drops of mild soap or dish detergent and mix well.

  2. Submerge the Mousepad: Gently place your gaming mousepad in the soapy water. Let it soak for a few minutes. This helps to loosen any dirt and oils accumulated on the surface.

  3. Scrub Gently: Use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub the mousepad. Focus on areas that are particularly dirty or stained. Be gentle to avoid damaging the surface.

  4. Rinse Thoroughly: After scrubbing, rinse the mousepad thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residues. It's important to make sure all the soap is washed off, as leftover soap can affect the texture of the mousepad.

  5. Dry the Mousepad: Shake off any excess water and lay the mousepad flat on a clean towel. Roll the towel with the mousepad inside to soak up excess water. Then, unroll the towel and leave the mousepad laying flat to air dry completely. Avoid using direct heat like a hairdryer, as it can warp the material.

  6. Air Dry Completely: Ensure the mousepad is completely dry before you use it again. This might take several hours, depending on the material and thickness.
