How to Clean Your ZOWIE Mousepad for a Consistent Glide

ZOWIE mousepads are crafted with a high-density base and an exclusive surface fabric designed to provide stability and optimize stopping power. The tightly woven surface not only delivers a finer touch and unique glide, but also ensures consistent control and comfort during play.

Because the ZOWIE surface fabric is tightly woven, small particles and dust can easily accumulate on the surface after extended use. This buildup gradually affects the mousepad’s texture and glide, making mouse movements feel inconsistent. Proper cleaning removes these particles and restores the condition of the surface.

The photos below are proof: even after 172 km of wear, a properly cleaned mousepad can regain a consistent glide feeling that is much closer to its original state.

Before you start, prepare the items that are needed:

• Pure water wipes or alcohol-free baby wipes
  (NOTE: These are the best options for cleaning your mousepad. They are suitable for daily use and gentle on the material without causing damage.)

1.  Shake the mousepad gently to remove larger dust and dirt particles.

2.  Ensure you have a wet wipe that is damp but not dripping wet.

3.  Gently wipe the surface of the mousepad. Repeat if necessary to remove all dust and dirt.

4.  Place the mousepad in a shaded area and let it air dry naturally.

• Clean the mousepad regularly (e.g., once a week) to help maintain its condition, retain a smooth glide, and extend its lifespan.

• If the surface shows obvious wear, scratches, or deformations that affects glide and control — even after cleaning — consider replacing it based on your actual usage needs.

Not recommended. Some soaps or hygiene products may contain alcohol or additives that can damage the fibers. Using soap together with a brush or sponge can also wear out the surface material, causing permanent damage.

It depends on the frequency of use. As a guideline, cleaning once a week is recommended. If you notice more dust, sweat, or changes in the feel of the glide, increase the frequency that you clean it.

Proper cleaning helps restore the glide feeling closer to its original state, but wear and tear is inevitable over time. Even with regular cleaning, the surface will gradually age with use.

Not recommended. Alcohol can damage the surface fabric and affect glide performance. Stick to pure water wipes or alcohol-free baby wipes.

Not recommended. Machine washing may cause the surface fabric and the rubber base to separate, reducing consistency and stability.
