4 Ways to Flatten a Rolled Mousepad

Use low heat from a hairdryer Warm the rippled areas gently with a hairdryer on low heat. This relaxes the rubber base that got a memory from being rolled too tight.

Apply weight with heavy books After heating, lay the mousepad flat under a stack of heavy books for a few hours. The combination of heat and weight flattens it fastest.

Try an iron on the lowest setting If you don’t have a hairdryer, use an iron on the lowest setting with no steam. Warm the ripples gently, then weigh it down.

Skip heat and use books alone Without heat, place the mousepad under heavy books for a day or two. This works but is slower and less effective than using heat.
