I use a very soft shoes brush to remove the dust on the pad.
If you don't have spots or as long as you just have dust on it, it's not necessary to wash it imo.

if you brush out the dirt with shampoo or something..in the tub..you will be disgusted what comes out after some month. i think pads need to be washed..otherwise filthy

i have a steelseries something plain black cloth, super cheapo, its about 3 mm thick and 450 mm wide and 400mm high and I usually cleaned it every 2 months, and it caused problems since a clean cloth pad doesn't have such friction as a nice dirty one, well I tell you its kinda shiny now from the filth but it does the job wonderful

i wash mine 2-3 times a year usually depending on how actively im using it
just put it in the washing machine and it comes out cleaner than new!

same for me, I just use luke warm water, no detergents, razer goliathus

same, but i'm adding some soap to the water and the effect is a lot better.
it fells more smooth and new

ps. i have a taito for about 9 months now, and it still feels very good

i never wash mine... i vacuum clean it once every 3 months or so, and buy a new one after a year.

how to wash qck+?

Same way as suggested above. There is no specific procedure depending on the brand. I have QCK Heavy and what I do is place the mat on a flat surface, get it wet in warm water, put some washing liquid and in circular motion using any kind of brush it makes it like new. It's just some rubber foam in between the cloth surface and rubber non slippery surface. It takes a while to dry especially if you don't leave it outside to speed up the process.

Ah, why do I have this odd feeling somebody will come with a reply

"So I used any sort of brush I had available, it was wire brush to be precise......."

"And then I left it to dry outside, at -20°C..."

I have a harder surface artisan - shiden, and mostly dust it off. They have more instructions on their website, I have found selecting a good soap tricky though. http://www.artisan-jp.com/item_maint_eng.html

I like to roll it and put in my mouth like seppuku and suck it til clean.

You're talking about a mouspad right?

Wouldn't mind giving my Roccat Taito a clean, but I don't have a back-up in case I fuck it up and it ends up all mangled.

I clean my QCK+ every month or so using the vacuum cleaner. Best solution really.

Clean your mousepad as often as you wash your dick (if ya know wot I mean...)

I've put my QCK Heavy in water for 3 hours, put soap on it and did circular motions with a soft sponge (was afraid to damage the texture with a brush). I left it drying all night. I wake up and it's like it was before. The areas where I place my mouse the most are worn out and not black-clean.

I use my QcK for 5 years, or even more, and never washed it. Not even once, and it still does the job. It's all about getting used to the surface.

I used my qpad cloth since 2006 and never washed it.. But.. Yeah.. Probably should. Not that it'd make it better, just fresher.
