Reply to comment by midnightsnacks in I just received the last deskmats for this year. Happy holidays to all of you. by cheswickFS

Depends on the mat, but some will let you wash them in a washing machine. I worry about them warping, so I've had great success putting them flat in a bath and using gentle carpet cleaner (the spot cleaner type in a bottle), spray down in the bath/shower and let it dry flat.

Thats what I do and my matt gets really dirty because I roll joints and smoke cigaretts at my desk. This works really well cleaning a desk matt.

Just to add onto this, make sure you are very careful when washing mouse pads. If you scrub or use too much force, or any force at all even, you can very easily damage the surface causing a completely worse tracking experience with your mouse (inconsistent and slow dragging). This happened a couple times with my cloth Zowie G-SR pads. You also want to use room temperature or lukewarm water.
