Soya on Your Mousepad? Here’s How to Clean Liquid Stains Safely

Spills happen — especially if your desk doubles as a dining table. But don’t worry, a splash of soya sauce or coffee doesn’t mean the end of your favorite mousepad. Here's how to safely clean liquid stains and bring your mousepad back to life:

✅ What You’ll Need

• A bowl of lukewarm water (not hot!)
• Mild detergent or dish soap
• A soft cloth or sponge
• Optional: Toothbrush for stubborn spots
• Towel for drying

🧼 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Check the material. Most mousepads, especially gaming ones, have a polyester top and rubber base. Avoid harsh cleaners.
2. Mix your cleaning solution. Combine lukewarm water with a few drops of mild detergent.
3. Dampen and blot. Dip your cloth into the mixture, wring it out, and gently blot the stain. Don’t soak the mousepad!
4. Scrub gently if needed. Use a soft toothbrush in circular motions if the stain persists.
5. Rinse with clean water. Use a fresh cloth to remove soap residue.
6. Air dry only. Lay the mousepad flat and let it dry naturally. Avoid heat sources.

🛑 Avoid These Mistakes:

• No bleach or strong solvents
• Don’t machine wash unless the pad is labeled washable
• Don’t twist or wring the mousepad

By following these steps, you can safely remove soya, soda, or wine stains from your mousepad — without affecting its print or performance.
