THE ESSENTIALS
Use a lightly damp sponge, a little mild soap if needed, then dry the pad flat. Keep cleaning gentle, without heat or excessive scrubbing.
What to avoid
When caring for your Pinea mouse pad, avoid harsh cleaning methods:
- The washing machine.
- Boiling water.
- Abrasive products.
- Hair dryers and radiators.
For a pad from another brand or one with electronic components, follow its manufacturer’s care instructions.
The recommended gentle method
1. Prepare a soft sponge
Lightly dampen a clean sponge. It should be moist, not soaked.
2. Clean without forcing
Move across the surface with regular motions. There is no need to scrub hard.
3. Treat the stain
Add a small amount of mild soap or diluted dish soap, then rinse with a clean damp sponge.
4. Let it dry flat
Place the pad in open air, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Wait until it is completely dry before using it again.
What if something spills?
Wipe spills immediately with a clean sponge or cloth to help limit marks. If needed, finish with the gentle cleaning method and let the pad dry flat.
How often should you clean your mouse pad?
Once a month is usually enough. Adjust this frequency to the marks and dust visible on your pad.
If you often eat or drink at your desk, clean more regularly with the gentle method to keep the surface clean and pleasant to use.
How long should a mouse pad dry?
There is no single drying time: it depends on the pad thickness, the amount of water used and the airflow in the room. Keep it flat until the surface, edges and base are completely dry.
Do not put a damp pad back on the desk or speed up drying with a radiator or hair dryer, as heat can affect its shape or materials.
