Quick answer
Set up your Gearloc Battle Desk Mat on a clean, flat surface and let it relax overnight. For care, wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth and store it rolled, never folded.
Why setup and care matter
A desk mat is more than a surface—it sets the tone for your workspace. The Gearloc Battle Desk Mat features really angry Gearlocs about to bring the pain down on some Baddies, so you want that artwork to stay crisp and flat. Proper setup prevents curling, and regular care keeps the mat looking fresh for years.
Desk mats are exposed to spills, dust, and daily friction. A little attention to how you place and clean it makes a big difference in how long it looks good and stays put.
What to know before you unroll it
The mat ships rolled, so it will have a natural curl. This is normal and doesn't affect the mat's quality. To flatten it, unroll it and let it rest on a flat surface for a few hours. If the edges still curl, gently roll the mat in the opposite direction and hold it for a minute. Avoid using heavy objects that could leave dents or creases.
Cleaning and daily maintenance
Desks collect dust, crumbs, and oils from your hands. The mat's surface is designed to handle regular use, but a quick wipe-down keeps it looking fresh. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth with mild soap if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as they can damage the printed design. For spills, blot immediately rather than rubbing.
How to Set Up and Care for Your Desk Mat
- Unroll and flatten the mat: Place the mat on a clean, flat surface. If it arrives rolled, unroll it and let it lie flat for a few hours or overnight. Avoid placing heavy objects on it immediately, as that can create permanent creases. Check that the mat lies completely flat before placing your keyboard and mouse.
- Clean the mat regularly: Wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and crumbs. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and gently scrub with a soft brush, then rinse with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking or machine washing. Always let the mat air dry completely before using it again.
- Store it flat or rolled: When not in use, roll the mat loosely (print side out) or lay it flat. Avoid folding it, as creases can become permanent. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If creases appear, roll the mat in the opposite direction for a few hours to help flatten it.
