Frequently Asked Questions
Why do cloth mousepads develop slow 'mud spots' over time?
Slow spots (or mud spots) are caused by a combination of dead skin cells, arm oils, sweat, and environmental dust getting trapped between fabric fibers. This increases static friction, making micro-adjustments feel sluggish.
How do I safely wash an Artisan or high-end cloth mousepad?
Fill a clean sink or tub with lukewarm water (never hot). Add a few drops of gentle dish soap or Dawn. Massage gently with your bare hands or a soft microfiber cloth. Rinse thoroughly with cold water until zero soap bubbles remain, and let it dry flat on a towel away from direct sunlight.
Why shouldn't you use hot water on Poron-based mousepads?
High heat degrades the specialized cellular structure of Japanese Poron sponge bases (used in Artisan and LGG Pro pads), causing the base to lose its suction desktop grip.
