Mousemat Cleaning

joshua476 · 3 Dec 2016 at 22:37

A bit of an odd one i guess but my mouse matt is absolutely filthy. Despite me using hot water and soap to make it look cleaner it still suffers from that dirty black residue left ingrained on the matt. Any tips on giving this a real good thorough clean?

Thanks

with my OcUK one, I get a cloth and some generic washing up liquid and scrub it then fill the bath with luke warm water and scrub it... then leave it out to dry...

Yeh I have used hot water from my shower head and lots of scrubbing with a kitchen scowerer with only half decent results. I was wondering if anyone had come up with any conduction of like vinegar and boiling water etc... I'm not bothered about buying a new mouse mat but I don't want to ruin mine and be unable to game till a new one arrives and obviously I'd rather save myself the money if possible

I still have my Razer Vespula, best mousemat I've ever had. Must be something like 6 years old now and it's plastic, so just a wipe with a wet cloth under the tap brings it up like new.

i hate plastic/hard covered mouse mats i find them way to slippery, always prefered the cloth type
