Post Best way to clean cloth mousepad?
Have a steel series cloth mousepad that I bought last year sometime and was wondering if anyone here knew a good way to clean some puppy hair and other wear and tear marks that it has accumulated over the past year. Is it safe to just throw in the sink and rub it down with soap or throw it in the washing machine..? i would think the dryer might ruin it though.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Never used anything automated (dishwasher / dryer), so can't speak to that.

But usually one of those lint rollers + wiping it down with a damp papertowel works for me. If it's still dirty a drop of handsoap, worked in then rinsed off should be fine -- just allow it sufficient time to dry on a flat surface before using it.

I would have this framed with just an Idra signature, let alone ret, MC and losira too. I'm jelly, man.

cleaned my pad the way fomenta suggested with a touch of soap and hotwater after a lintrolling and it looks spotless, just letting this badboy dry out for a while. thanks Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_02

Which makes his signature more valuable and enjoyable to have, imo atleast Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_16 . Also hes got to be almost a millionaire at this point , I think he could care less.

Holy shit, I didn't know people were still using mousepads. I thought it was only for ball mouses.

Washing machine. As long as it's a QCK. You can do that about 15-20 times before it starts to peel and needs to be replaced.

Are these fancy pants mouse pads? I thought most pads are like a buck or two, just buy another.

Dawn dish liquid and a dish rag to scrub it with,towel dry it best you can and let air do the rest.Just rinse all the soap off or its gonna be sticky.I wouldn't be scarred to throw it in the washer,just no heat or its gonna curl.

Curling isn't a problem, it's the cloth top that peels off that is.
