    I've had mine for a few months now and decided that it needs a wash. Was thinking that putting it in the washer would be fine, but I wanted to make sure. Good to know that I need to put it in on cold. Though does it need any sort of soap or is just the water good enough?

    Thank you I have one of those mouse pad desk(The entire surface of my desk is a removable mouse pad) and I was trying to figure out the best way to clean this thing I need to stop eating at my computer because little crumbs get on my keyboard and I hate it But I'm the one to blame. But I also have cats and their fur gets everywhere. I love my babies but the one thing I cannot stand about living with other animals is the fur on everything. 😩 I'm kind of upset with myself without even thinking about using the lint roller it didn't even cross my mind I use it for like all my clothes I didn't even think to use it on my mouse pad

    thanks for the tips. but seriously. this video could have been a 12 second black screen with white text saying:
    1) wipe with soapy water. dry by hanging up.
    or
    2) put in washing machine on cold. dry by hanging up.
    Warning: Don't put electronics in washing machine.
    a 5 and a half minute video packed with merch plugs really wasn't necessary.
    but yeah, skip to 3.30 for the actual point of the vid

      @RAVisuals  2 роки тому

      I wanted to provide a bit more value than just a blank screen and text. But I totally see what you're saying. The video has one merch plug and its a way that we creators can make money so we can keep making content. Its super easy to just skip through it if it doesn't interest you.
