So i have a roccat taito mouse mat, does anyone know the best way of cleaning it? is it machine washable or is it just a case of damp cloth and give it a good whipe??

I'm fairly sure putting it in the washing machine will absolutely wreck it.

With all my 'gaming mice', I just get a lense cleaner and a cloth[from my dads glasses kit], and it works a treat. Failing that just wet toilet paper does a job if it's just muck and skin accumulated on the mouse.

Haha, the Roccat Taito is a cloth mat! I would also not advise that you put your mouse in the washing machine! ^^

I would just wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth and wipe off any excess then leave to dry.

just damp cloth it. Most "bits" come off with a manic flail of the matt in the air though

The Roccat Taito being a mouse mat and not a mouse btw

*facepalm*.

My bad, I'd just spent about an hour staring at Roccat mouse reviews and such. I was like 'is he advocating banging a mouse in the washing machine?'

For my cloth pads, I usually just use a damp cloth to go over them, or just run it under a tap and damp dry with a towel.

Putting a mouse mat in the washing machine :O

I don't think cloth pads would do too badly in the washing machine, althogh I get the feeling if they started to tear they'd just full apart.

I once had a shower with my icemat at the bottom, came out smelling of the fruit infusion shampoo I'd used and was so clean.

Pray tell what inspired one to do such things?

Haha. Well, whenever my icemat got grubby, I used to wash it under the tap and it would come out sleek black and clean. I had it in the bathroom and went for a shower and figured 'I was going to tap wash it anyway', so went and did it. It smelt amazing for about a week

and my study stank of fruit infusions, rather than my sweat and the smell of ink, ah, so pleasant.
