Be careful, depending on the mat, the back part could start to deteriorate and transform into a gooey mess.

I’d recommend low heat/cold and delicate. I neglected to use these settings once and all the edges of my mat were rolled up for a while.

This reminds me that it’s time to wash mine. I wash my desk mat in the clothes washing machine on delicate on the cold temp with detergent and some color safe bleach. Then air dry.

I always do that, just hang it up to air dry, I’d imagine the dryer would cause issues.
Also this is why I refuse to buy the rgb ones, I wouldn’t know how to wash them

Thanks. Good to know. Was gonna wash mine by hand but I’ll probably throw it in the washer.

Washing things cleans them confirmed ✅

You run yours through a washer: steelseries logo intact.
I don’t touch mine: you can keep the white dot.

Did you scratch test it?

I got one of the soft bristle brush drill attachments and scrub mine whenever the white scratch lines start to appear.

It works great.
Been doing it for 3 years now

Just gotta be careful to use cold/warm water not hot, and dont dry it in the dryer, let it air dry on a flat surface or you’ll curl the fuck out of it (I almost ruined a pad doing that kekw. the limited edition OG shroud HyperX pad too)

Does the same to my statue socks

Is that a soft top pad? I have a razer strider that is a hybrid hard/soft top and kinda tried of scrubbing this bish lol

Feels bad, can’t put mine through the washer. Nothing a good old fashioned scrub can’t fix though. Just remember to be careful with the heat when you do this.

Another way to clean them is putting it in a bathtub. Use dawn dish soap, soft bristle brush, and a little elbow grease. Then just hang dry.

You waited for it to smell to try cleaning it? lol
I prefer manually cleaning it with a nails/body brush and some liquid soap, I’ve had some mats messed up on the washer

Fantastic, I had not even thought of that!

I use the 30° C program for fine garments in a front loading washing machine.
Do not use powdered detergent because the bleach will over time damage the mat. Use a mild liquid detergent instead.
Also air dry the mat afterwards.
I have washed my mat dozens of times in this fashion.

I just use clorox wipes, takes a few but it does work

I seats wash my mats. Especially when you can scrape the “cheese” off of it lol

Oh shit. I have the same mouse pad. I soaked it, threw it on the wall in my shower and bristle brushed the fuck out of it…still dirty a little bit after. Running it through the washer would have been much easier. That’s what I’ll do next time.

do you mean the dishwasher?

Dishwasher, clothes washer, booty washer ?

I’ve got one of them fancy Japanese artisan ones and need to get it cleaned, would really hope a quick and easy washer trip would do the trick but idk, anyone ever wash a cloth artisan one, any specific way?

I wouldn’t do this on premium pads. i can already see two or three folds, that will only get worse over time. it still looks dirty to me. the recommended way is in the tub, with mild dishwasher soap. and only a few drops.

I have the RGB version and i tried to wash / clean it. Made sure the usb part stayed dry. Still damaged the rgb since it cracked the plastic housing.

The dish washer or the laundry machine?
Dish or clothes?
Water and soap cleans shit. Wow
