I just washed both my Godspeed and MX desk mats yesterday.

Wash in machine on delicate setting, cold/cold, medium spin and then let air dry. Do not use your machine dryer.

Both came out as good as the day they were new.

Wow. Why did i not think of this. I usually spray it with bulk spray and wipe, rub it hard with a chux and then get the ****s when it does not work.

I wash mine in the shower using liquid detergent and a coarse sponge to rub it in. Then rinse and hang dry. Hang drying does not take that long.

Exactly this. Warm water would also help.

MM...  recommend against warm water..

Depending on how well that glue is tacked..  it could more easily come undone with warm-ness

Mine goes into the washing machine on cold and air dries. I've had my desklength goliathus since 2011 and haven't had any issue doing so. Probably gets washed 2-3 times a year.
