How to CLEAN your MOUSEPAD - Correctly

[@toughstuff7187]

I’m out of words to describe how professionally this video has been made

[@Johnny31323]

One thing to note, Don't use warm water, as it can degrade the rubber at the bottom of the mousepad, or rather it can make the whole mousepad f'd up, so only use cold water

[@jamieeddolls5605]

0:15 "You need a sink so do the dishes first. Or do like any normal person and use the other sink." Sub! 1:09 "You need to resist the urge to twist the mouse pad because it will ruin the mouse pad." live saving warning! :D In less than 2 minutes you provide more competence in many different aspects than many on their jobs in years...

[@minkeymoo]

I just did it in the bathroom floor instead I wasn't able to resist the urge to twist and and got my corners ruined 🥲

[@MCUwii]

@@minkeymoo Oh no! Sorry for your loss! 😅

Amazing video, it was straight to the point. Extra points for those small quips throughout the tutorial :D

[@alex30fs]

I always threw my mouse pad to wash inside a pillowcase in the clothes washer, this is a nice tip. Another nice video, thanks. ❤️

[@ALBUPerformance]

Great tip! Pillowcase is a great idea.

[@susunini9520]

this is the perfect youtube channel. no doubts!

[@CMDRFandragon]

"Use a sink, but do the dishes first" Or use the other sink I prefer the bathtub cuz it never has dishes. Yeah, I agree 200% lol.

[@FlawFPS]

instructions unclear, i flooded my house...

I could make an instructional video to unflood house...

[@apatel9488]

this is REALLY good

[@xttocx]

"I prefer the bathtub because it has no dishes." - Dead.

[@WhiteBoyGamer]

i use titanwolf mousepads from amazon since they are cheap and for the price extremly good. sure some mousepads may perform slightly better but its not worth it to me. and since those are so cheap i just throw them in the washing machine. so far they have not fallen apart. the cloth is still sticking to the rubber and the seam is still perfect. and even if at some point the pad falls apart i just get a new one since they are so cheap. i had good mousepads but they are not worth the money. i have 2 times the same pad to cycle when i throw one in the laundry. i believe i have washed the same pad 3 times so far without any problems. just dont wash too hot

[@jsprunger6246]

Be careful using random soaps with ingredients that might stay in the mousepad even if you wash it long and well with hot water. I would say stick to the most basic dish soap with no extra ingredients such as a soap that adds oils to your skin or some shit like that

[@BlankJebus]

I've started to look up mouse pad cleaning and the fact that you have the exact same mouse pad means that i'll be doing this.

[@4-r-k]

I like your hilarious choice of words. Haha. Have my thumb up! xD

[@theworldneedsmoreninjas5320]

"Pizza Stains" Sure :D

[@latibro21]

THANKS

[@nothingsacred8684]

So glad to find this video. I've got a Doraemon 50th anniversary mousepad, my cat spilled water on it and the part with water is a darker shade of white than the rest now and I can't just replace it with another, that would be way to expensive. Hope this works!

[@christiancryder1999]

I like to hang it on the bathtub, so people in the house don't know if it's ok to use the bathtub for the rest of the day........that's classic!

[@f0kidhs]

I am using tide, it works too

[@r3alyui260]

Is laundry powder or dish soap the best for cleaning mousepads?

[@ALBUPerformance]

I'd go dish soap. The rock like texture of laundry powder might damage the pad if they are rubbed in before disolving.

[@UltraSuperDuperFreak]

Well i did everything you told me not to do aswell (yes seriously), just for good measure to cover all points. Nice clean mouse pad and not the slightest sign of tread damage. But then again my mousepad hade never been cleaned (it's from 2017) except from me scraping "nastiness" off it now and then with a nailclipping ! yea ...i dont care if it break ..who would ? a mouse pad cost next to nothing ..20-30$ at most if a really fancy one ? (mine cost 30). I spend that on candy, cake and soda and stuff i dont really need in a heartbeat each day

[@samppi7432]

i liked and subscribed with my dirty mousepad

[@ecoVPT]

damn bro thanks the water was brown after this XD update: still works in 2023 devs haven't patched it out

[@zw7860]

never expected this but, good job lol

[@BrokenanklesFPV]

i found dial soap cuts the hand oils a lot better

[@veraxis9961]

Great tutorial. Thanks.

[@mescellaneous]

if you dont want to go to the sink or use water, you can try isopropyl (diluted alcohol). It's an easy mess free way to spot clean.

[@TheShadows1911]

This guy is hilarious!! 😂😂

[@homsterluder5364]

can you use a hair dryer to speed up the process?

[@ALBUPerformance]

Yep

[@Valkinsenn]

Funny thing: I've got that _exact_ same mouse pad. Same company, same color, everything. o.o

[@ALBUPerformance]

It's still one of my favorites. The pattern and design are great and hide dirt better than their newer designs or the 90% black mousepads out there.

[@JONHATHINEOS]

thanks!

[@VossWaterKim]

Good stuff man time to get to work lol

[@iulianirimia611]

do one for the mouse

[@Xerxes_TV]

Can we get a monitor clean

[@k1llerr]

I have a razer gigantus v2, should I clean it the same way as your or differently? The packaging says that it should be cleaned gently from time to time or something like that i dont remember. My mouse just stopped gliding over it like it used to and it just doesnt feel smooth anymore. So yeah, same way or different?

[@minkeymoo]

This is the gentlest way you'll find on internet, Cleaning gently means just don't throw it in a washing machine and instead do it by hand

[@visit2000]

I have razer acari hard mouse pad. How can i clean it ?

[@ALBUPerformance]

Ah yes, the Razer Acari. It's known for a few issues. Namely PTFE mouse feet do not do well with it due to its coating. It wears out relatively fast where you'll have friction in the center but smoothness on the edges. Cleaning it unfortunately doesn't fix this, but rather makes it worse since it's a special coating they put on the mousepad that's wears out. The only recommendation I have for this is to try using ceramic mouse feet with it - should keep it from wearing out so quick.

[@hydrix827]

How would I do this with a bugha mousepad

[@fztshadow]

I don’t know I heard that mouth pads, exhort water, and it can ruin what you have on it

[@kimdemegillo9631]

some puns are on point haha

[@Reyajh]

Man! Thanks soo much!!! I know I been needing to do this!! I too, I couldn't decide which soap to use, so I just said screw it and used them all... O.o

[@ALBUPerformance]

Haha that's awesome!

[@milusheva4]

Lol best way to be sure it's clean 😁

[@avedisttv]

is this the speed version? does it work with the control edition as well? or will it get ruined?

[@ALBUPerformance]

Works with both. In my experience you can wash it about a dozen or two before it's not like it used to be.

[@cyanish5633]

just did it as closly as i could, in mathtub, used handwashing soap AND dishwascshing soap, used sponge, im just waiting for it to dry, mine was very dirty before hand so i prey this works becuase i could barley aim in any game (ik its not cuz of the mouse cuz it works better on the wood table which is bad news)

[@SnipyOCE]

1:10 Why does twisting the mousepad here ruin it?

[@ALBUPerformance]

My twisting I mean wringing it like a towel. You shouldn't do it because stretching the fibers like that can cause micro tears of the interlaced threads. Basically resulting in very tiny frizzled threads to stick out of the mousepad. Similar to lint on clothing. They may not be easily noticeable to the naked eye, but for a precise mouse laser it can really affect the smoothness. To be honest, this will happen regardless over time from normal use and a mousepad should be replaced once it's showing signs of wear, or if its been washed a couple dozen times.

[@fztshadow]

Can I have one of those mouse pads that are long that you can put your keyboard on as well?

[@YummyNoodleBoi]

thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

[@couchlion]

I didn't have the volume on so I just cleaned my mousepad with bar soap, hand soap and dish soap.

[@ruffr4bb1t]

Okay but I cannot run my fingers across my mousepad like that it’s triggering but I can just se how nasty mine is with every lil sweat drop that had entered it

My mouse pad dont have stitch on the side (razer gigantus v2) can i do this method too?

[@ALBUPerformance]

Yes, but don't scrub the edges of the pad or they will flare up. Scrub the center, and the edges just rinse.

Hey, I'm sorry; I forgot to like the video. Now I gotta wait for my mousepad to dry before I can. 😏

[@antero7680]

Actually best may to clean the mousepad is to use washing powder

[@Val0r468]

What if i use cold water instead of hot water? is it gonna be any different?

[@SilvaDreams]

You don't want to use hot water, warm or cold so it doesn't potentially ruin the rubber or glues used to keep the fabric adhered

[@klh9358]

How do you know what material is your mousepad made of? mine is like yours but the long version

The edges of my mousepad are starting to come off tho, do I still do this?

[@ALBUPerformance]

Those edges will naturally get worse with time. Each wash will advance that time frame.

[@RustyCog]

Your mouse pad has stitched ends right?

[@ALBUPerformance]

Yes. Avoid cleaning the stitches as they will tear over time and many washes.
