4 Tips for Washing a Cloth Mousepad in a Machine

Use cold water and the gentle cycle Hot water can shrink the fabric and damage the rubber base. Stick to cold water and a delicate or gentle cycle.

Skip the spin cycle if possible Excess agitation can warp the pad. If your machine allows, select no spin or low spin.

Air dry flat, never use a dryer High heat is the main cause of damage. Lay the mousepad flat to dry at room temperature.

Hand wash thick or stitched-edge pads Pads with stitched edges or thick rubber backing may not survive the machine. Use dish soap and a soft brush instead.
