I've cleaned tons of premium mousepads and tested many methods. This is BY FAR the best method I've found, and gets the pad very clean without damaging the surface. This is ONLY for non-rgb mousepads. RGB pads can get damaged when wet since they have electronics, but this method is great for purely cloth style pads.
As an asian, the first minute that he left his water running for a while without turning it off kind of triggered me XDDDD
Poland here, Same
Having black parents not any better lmao 😂
Lol
seriously bugging me a lot and i am coming back to this video time to time to check if he closed the tap.
edit: i know this really sound double meaning
mixed race house hold, white and black and i was saying out loud to "turn the tap off" xDDD
I just used this method on a much bigger pad (which is like semi-waterproof), I'm currently letting it dry but it still worked really well, even on some harder stains, thanks!
Method?
@@kattihattit’s in the video
@@PhenomRom hes using soap and water to clean something. Not much of a method.
@kattihatt did he not just say the one used in the video?
I was going to use a dirty sponge with food in it in a bath with hair and grime. Lucky I watched this video first.
Letting the water run is a subtle flex
Sure.. if you live in africa
That's not a flex, that's called "wasting"
I can't believe how DUMB you need to be to say that "Africa" doesnt have water LMAOOO@@DefaultTH-camUserAccount
All that wasted water...
Dude, the kitchen ITSELF is a big flex. Leaving the water run is just wasteful. =D
Bro the water went brown 💀
If you notice that the mousepad has stubborn patches of dead skin, you can use a toothbrush on those areas to agitate the dirt. I found that a sponge may not apply enough pressure to properly agitate stuck dirt.
Pro tip: Turn your water faucet off when not in use.
Save water, people.
Where do you think the water he used will go to?
But we pay for it..
Sorry couldn't follow, got hyptonized by the beard...
Same
Same
my desk mat is going to love this :D
BRO PLS STOP THIS WATER
"nice and wet", "nice and clean", "nice and new" lmao nice everywhere
Warm water will always leave less residue than cold water.
Dude turn that mf tap off omg
Wow yesterday I thought I need to clean my mousepad today youtube recommends this video, sometimes it feels like I live in a matrix
Scrub with the soft end of the sponge.... or better yet use a micro fiber cloth so you don't rough up the mouse pad.
I felt my water bill go up when he left his water running...
i usually vacuum my mouse pad every week or so with brush attachment works pretty good well i use that for all my tech and desk actually with a very powerful 2700w vacuum with 5 speeds
when it comes to dust cleaning PC and consoles this is the best method i've found i usually clean my stuff pretty regularly so there's no build-up
close the tap man!!
such a banger counter
So letting the water run like that gets my mousepad cleaner?
Aight Bet ✅
Turn the water off when you’re not using it. It’s a waste of money
Water is free here
@@rakz7865well you got that going for ya. Stay blessed.
It's a waste of water.
as an Asian I felt too much anxiety when he didnt closed the tap
i more so had the question if the methods is safe for coated pads and for the newer style poronpads, since both of these qualities seem more susceptible to damage
ehy man excellent video, I was also wondering how often it is ok to clean your mousepad? every 2 months or so? or more? I would love to know.
Every 2 months should be totally fine, you could probably do it even a bit more often than that
Dont do it more often, do it when you absolutely need to. It ruins the glide of the mousepad if you wash it to many times.
I use a soft tooth brush (that I only use for the mousepad).
Great video i wash my mousepad all the time so i will use this
Ah, yes...Mousepads are ceramic plates...
How to clean mousepad:
Step 1: clean it.
Done.
Bro what do you mean? Do you expect to snap your fingers and for it to be done?
@@nikitasnosis2695 i just thought it was funny that the instruction on how to clean it is "clean it". Bro.
@@kattihatt I think the main point people search for these is because of understanding what products are safe and effective for the cleaning process.
Instructions unclear..... Mousepad now trapped in vacuum cleaner.
@@petrolhead0387 u fkd up
bro the water running
Thank you 🙏
Thank you very much, now I know I'm gonna stay with my little pad, just for the mouse
perfect timing, pre ordered mine and was getting ready to wash soon for the first time!
How do you like the pad so far?
@@theemberedgebro left you on seen just like your girlfriend 💀
@@randomboi8393 bro😭😭😭😭😭🦆😭
Same! I couldn't even finish the vod cuz it bothers me way too much 😅
I just threw mine in the washer did I fuck up
U prob did 💀
What happened? Did it fuck up or not??
@@beaclever it didn’t fuck it up it just took a lot longer than necessary to dry 😂
@@tweaksauce7349i always put mine on the washing machine, if you want to accelerate the drying you can roll it tightly in a towel a few times 😊
I fucked mine up by soaking it in water with detergent, the cloth kinda came off from the rubber mat
Bro that was nasty AF! Cheers for finally cleaning it.
😂😂
dawn stonks ↗
Patty cakes is that you?
I put mine in the washer at 60c 1600rpm spin. Worked fine
1600rpm for a mousepad is insane
I cleaned the same way, since mine is RGB I cannot sink it in the water to clean it properly. The problem is after the pad dries, the sopa is not totally gone and you'd see white scratches like you'd see on dry skin.
yeah with RGB pads this method won't work as well since you don't want to get it wet. This method is for more traditional pads
if you use body soap or any "skincare" product you will end up with all the "skin supplementary" all over your pad. Try use dish soap o hand soap with no skincare compound.
The sponge will leave the rug in pellets.
Pattycakes, is that you?
Does it work with hand soap?
Yeah as long as you use a small amount and rinse it all out it should be okay
oh aigt thx
This seems straight-forward enough, but I'm curious if some other things like "car interior detailer" spray may work for this as well? (Turtle Wax seems to have one intended for both fabrics and plastics, that I've used on cloth chairs with little issue.) Just wondering if there's a more "dry" approach to cleaning the pad, since it seems like the foam rubber on the bottom takes a very long time to dry out. The main worry is whether or not the cleaning product will either attack the rubber or the adhesive that binds the top fabric to the rubber backing.
We haven’t tried it, but let us know how it works if you decide to try it
Dish soap is going to be perfectly safe for the rubber matting on the bottom of the pad, and is extremely unlikely to be harsh enough to have any impact on the glue between the two parts particularly in such small quantities. Any car detailing cleaning supplies that are designed to work on the carpeted interior of your car would be perfect for this application, particularly if they are made to work on carpeted floor mats. That is going to be a good option for folks that have desk mats with LED edge lighting that cannot be safely submerged in water like this without risk to water getting into places you don't want it.
I never watch my mousepad more than 4 years. 😂
Mine glows like a Jackson Pollock if you shine a UV light on it.
thanks! helped alot
What pad are you using?
Brooo turn thst foset off mannnn.
I was interested at first then I realized I own an RGB mouse mat from Alibaba ☠☠
WAIT WHAT. THIS IS CAMMYCAKES
almost, pattycakes lol
just put in wash mashine on coldest, slowest mode with tiny bit of wash
So how to dry it fast
That's not a mousepad, that's a *MOUSEPAD*
Dont worry guys, this water is 80% micro-plastic
how can you clean something that isnt dirty in the first place. NOT CONVINCING.
Thanks a lot!
Is there a problem if I use a lot more dish liquid? A lot of foam came out.
💀
Just be sure to rinse it all out!
Looks like your comment section really took the "While I'm brushing my teeth and having so much, but I never let the water run. NO! I never let the water run" from the Barney song to heart.
OMG the water
I always have some dawn in a spray bottle mixed with water for this and other things I clean lol
What about an RGB mouse pad like the Razer Goliathus Extended Chroma?
Plug it in and throw it in the washer at 90°C
That wasn't a dirty mouse pad to begin with
I did this 2 hears ago with a mousepad that i had for 5 years , its deformed
TLDR: Use soap and a sponge.
Hey, where are the reviews from other creators, I would like to try the mouse pad but the only thing that I saw were really quick reviews on this channel, I would like to see deep dive reviews of the mousepad from other channels.
We have sent a few out for reviews, here’s a somewhat recent one:
th-cam.com/video/S9StCPXfajc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wtGDVCku5mguRpq4
That doesn't clean it, it actually still dirty. The dirty stuffs are all within the fabrics. You gotta soak it for a day.
I would suggest to use shampoo instead of dishwash liquid as the dishwash cna be bit harsh and damage the cloth fabric of mousepad.
Shampoo has oils and stuff made to cling to your hair, that's even worse than dishwash soap. A gentle detergent is best but a gentle dish soap is second to best.
@@QuackZack that's true as well.
nah i dont have time for this shit i have the same type of mousepad as you put it in the washing mashine on 20°C and it comes out like brand new
yesterday I cleaned my mousepad. this is getting creepy
I steal baby wipes from my baby girl and thats it.
Пошел в магазин.
Заплатил $5.
Новый, чистый коврик.
Sorry but I just came here to flex that I don’t have to clean my mouse pad, sky pad gang on top
Too bad we haven't invented machines for washing stuff.
There are delicate things that shouldn't be machine washed because it will tear the fabrics.... Tell me you're a straight gamer guy without telling me.
@@Sekowon Im a straight gamer guy and I dont share his disposition
what if you have tech on your mouse pad
in the trash it goes
Throw it in the washing machine.
THNAK YO7A SO MCUH I GOT EVERTTHISNG
I use curd soap and clean them in the bathtub
I wish I lived in North America... those shippinig fees are steep.
Long term we’d love to have distribution in other countries directly but for now we ship everything from the US and use a 3rd party shipping provider that handles all of the shipping fees and import tax/duties
Washing machine on gentle delicate
I just toss mine in the washing machine.
bruh wait whatt?😨 I just now throwed my mouse mat into washing machine as I useually do and I did zero google search or youtube search on how to clean a mouse pad but I got this video in my recommendation. Is this coincidence or youtube spying on me? 😰😰
Yes
What about my water proof mouse pad 😢
Haha what kind of pad? I’d imagine it would still work pretty well with this method
dry it under the sun, or it will be some kind of mold here and there..
Nah bro my way is the best.. dont actually watch my video tho.. you have been warned
dude the wather, what is wrong with you
Too much work for me. Washing machine will forever me my go to.
people in africa losing their minds watching all that water run away..
This water won't go to people of Africa anyway and will be used by someone else still
So funny comments) in russia we are even dont turn water off)
dude....... turn off the water tap.....
Couldn’t keep seeing it while the water was running. Do a video about water saving dude. Wake up.
You're meticulous asf
Could not watch it till the end... Running water triggered me...
Our first step is to just get our mouse nice and wet 👀
That's what she said...
Don't judge me... 💀
