How to Clean Your Solar System Deskmat

Quick Answer

Clean your FBB Solar System Deskmat with a soft, damp microfiber cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and scrubbing to preserve the print and cushioning.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

1. 1. Clear Your Desk: Remove your keyboard, mouse, and any other items from the deskmat. This gives you full access and prevents accidentally moving dirt around. Common mistake: cleaning around objects can leave hidden grime under them.
2. 2. Dry Dust First: Use a dry microfiber cloth or a lint-free duster to wipe away loose dust and crumbs. Work from one end to the other to avoid redistributing debris. Checkpoint: if you see sticky spots, skip to the damp step—dry dusting won't remove them.
3. 3. Dampen a Cloth: Dampen a clean microfiber cloth with water and add a drop of mild dish soap. Wring it out well—the cloth should be barely damp, not wet. Excess moisture can seep under the mat or damage the edges. Common mistake: using a soaking cloth can warp the mat or leave water stains.
4. 4. Wipe Gently: Wipe the entire surface with the damp cloth using light, even pressure. For stubborn spots, let the soapy cloth sit on the mark for 10–15 seconds, then wipe again. Do not scrub vigorously; the print is durable but not scratch-proof. Checkpoint: if a stain persists, repeat the step with a fresh cloth—don't press harder.
5. 5. Rinse with a Damp Cloth: Use a second damp cloth with plain water to remove any soap residue. Soap left on the surface can attract dust and feel sticky. Common mistake: skipping the rinse step leaves a film that dulls the mat's appearance.
6. 6. Air Dry Completely: Lay the deskmat flat on a clean towel or hang it over a drying rack. Let it air dry completely before putting your gear back. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can fade the print or warp the material. Checkpoint: a damp mat can cause your mouse to stick or leave moisture on your keyboard.
