HOW TO CLEAN A MOUSE - how to care for a computer mouse and mouse mat

An optical or laser mouse is a champion in dirt and germ accumulation. Periodically, you need to clean it from dirt and wash the rug, otherwise using them will become unpleasant and difficult. Instructions on how to clean a computer mouse are especially important for avid gamers.

What do you need:

  • cotton swabs and toothpicks;
  • alcohol solution;
  • microfiber or rayon napkin.

How do I care for my mouse and mouse pad?

  1. Disconnect the mouse from the computer.
  2. Wipe the body with a damp cloth.
  3. Dip a cotton swab in alcohol and wipe the legs, elastic pads, and the glowing "eye".
  4. Use a toothpick to clean the area around the legs.
  5. Use the pointed end of a toothpick to clean the gaps between the buttons and the mouse wheel (scroll).
  6. Use a damp cloth to clean the mouse cord (if not wireless) from the connection point to the computer connector.
  7. Dampen the microfiber and wipe down the mouse pad. If it is very dirty, wash it with a soapy sponge under running water at room temperature. Then dry.

If one of the buttons does not press, do not open the bottom panel of the mouse - only the wizard can fix this problem.
