Are the gaming surfaces washable?

As subject really - have two of the XXL surfaces (which may have fallen out of Gibbo's boot many moons ago) but they're getting rather grubby. Anyone tried chucking these in a washing machine?

Not tried those specifically but in my experience those kind of things have never been the same again after washing. Sucks as I'm running low of replacements for my favourite and they don't make them any more

warm damp cloth with a smidgen of spray on fabric softener has always worked for me. probably just takes the dirty look away rather than actually cleaning it, but I don't eat my dinner off of it so I'm not too bothered as long as it 'looks' clean

I find a damp cloth with a bit of Fairy liquid brings the pad up nicely.

I've put mine in the washing machine plenty of times. They come out looking lovely.

Put it on the lowest temperature and the synthetic option if your washing machine supports it.

I've washed SteelSeries QCK many times in the washing machine on 30.

I've washed my QCK both in the washing machine & in the bath (naughty) using the shower head and a bit of fairy - comes out absolutely fine after a good drying

The Steelseries Dex has water resistant properties among its listed features, but obviously it's ridiculously expensive for a mouse mat. I couldn't resist, ofc.
