Washing stackmat?

[CubingCompetitions]

Ok, so I recently got my stackmat dirty and was wondering if washing it will affect anything. Have you guys done this?

 

[Edward]

Take it apart and use canned air and a damp cloth. I've never done this, but it seems like it would work. Can someone back me up?

 

[CubingCompetitions]

I think you misunderstand me, I mean the mat, not the stackmat timer. I would never wash an electronic device

If you weren't thinking of a timer, how do you take the mat apart?

I think they are supposed to last just fine through the washer and dryer, as if it were some piece of clothing.

Try it.

I got Maru Lube on my stackmat.

I got Maru Lube on my stackmat.

I have my stackmat set up permanently at my desk when it's plugged in, so it has all of the following stains on it.

Grape Soda
Super Glue
Jig-a-Loo
Maru Lube
Shock Oil (eww)
6x6 Dust
Paint
Pen
Sharpie

The list goes on and on.

If you're afraid to actually wash it, maybe try something like tide to go? Or maybe just scrub it down?

 

[akiramejin]

In all seriousness, I would just get a damp paper towel and scrub it.
or try machine washing it.

 

[theace]

try the laundry!

Tide to go does wonders. If your cat was sleeping on it for months, then throw it in the washer, but i don't see how tide to go won't work.

I have got pen stains on my hands and my LanLan 2x2.

But, with the washing thing, it depends what type of dirty. You might just be able to wet the dirty part and try to scrub/squeeze it out, or you might need to actually machine wash it. It probably wouldn't damage it, but I'm not a washing expert.

 

[FatBoyXPC]

How dirty did you get it? Just wash it like you wash a mouse pad (that's all it is, except bigger). It's a a big square piece of neoprene (wet suit material), with a cloth overlay. A dishwasher, washing machine, or hand wash should do the trick.

 

[oskarasbrink]

just take a rough side of a sponge and some soap o something in that area. it works for me

 

[Bryan]

If you machine wash it, at least air dry it. I don't think the rubber would survive the high heat of the dryer.

 

[bobso2]

I should just wash it by hand
