Check if the Mousepad is Clean
Alright! We’re done with the cleaning part. Now, let’s check if the cleaning went well.

Use a Washing Machine to Clean Your Mousepad
When it comes to cleaning, washing machine is the first thing that comes to our mind. But can you use it to clean your mousepad?
YES andNO. Washing machines are not good for the fabric of your mousepad. It will end up forming someugly creases. So, I strongly advise you to stay away from it.
Yet, if your manufacturer allows it, you may proceed. Mousepads made of Rubber, Nylon, Polyester, and similar materials are machine-friendly. Please check and proceed.
If you plan to machine-wash it, do it along with other regular laundry. Towels are the best option. While at it, ensure you alsorun the machine on full load.
