Buy a new one it will smell of stale milk.

I will smell.

Worth rinsing it in warm water asap though. No soap. Let it dry and hope for the best.

Do this asap!!! If you let it dry, the chances are it will smell more.

I have ruined loads in the past. Black sambuca is the worst.

I would have chanced it in the washing machine on a cool quick cycle.

What about one of them Steam cleaners? I use one on my Car seats when doing a valet and it works a treat. No chemicals involved either that could stain the Boogie Bug or make it worse.

*edit: Not sure if it would handle the heat mind you

Had mine for a couple of years now and cleaned it maybe 3 or 4 times. Soap and warm water -> hang in airing cupboard overnight = good as new!

Funny if they shrunk.

utajoker · 29 Sep 2010 at 14:16

gave it a good scrub and its looking like new, just drying now, worst case if it does shrink, i have a normal sized mouse mat

a strange tip that i received the other day was to cover my water damaged iphone with rice! (from orange) in theory it sounds like it should work and well it did this time..

utajoker · 29 Sep 2010 at 15:19

can rice get rid of the smell of stale milk?

just get some coffee on there too and you've got a lovely morning breakfast smell.

Handy to know as I have the Steel Series one which is very similar and my dogs like to stand on it while I am mid game. This is hard enough to deal with, but the added paw prints are getting a bit much!

I hope they have not been standing in something else before hand.

No no, just mud... not dog mud thank god.
So annoying though, you can be in Windows and they leave you alone, as soon as I start killing stuff they stand on my mouse mat and bat my hand to get me to stroke them. It never works but they try it every time.

Stick mine in the shower with some shower gel

and scrub away

Logitech keyboards don't like Sambuca either
