Keep your Attack Shark wrist rests looking new with these simple cleaning steps for acrylic and silicone materials. Learn what to avoid and how to maintain them.
Quick Answer
To keep your Attack Shark wrist rests in top condition, clean acrylic with a soft damp cloth and mild soap, and wash silicone with warm water and dish soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads.
Why Material Matters
Acrylic wrist rests have a hard, non-porous surface that resists stains but can scratch easily. Silicone wrist rests are soft and flexible but can absorb oils and require thorough drying to prevent mold. Using the wrong cleaning method can damage the material or reduce comfort.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Process
- Dust Off Loose Debris: Use a soft brush or canned air to remove crumbs and dust from the wrist rest surface and edges. Avoid using a cloth on silicone as it may push debris into the material.
- Prepare Mild Cleaning Solution: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water in a small bowl. Do not use alcohol, bleach, or ammonia. Harsh chemicals can cloud acrylic or degrade silicone.
- Clean the Acrylic Wrist Rest: Dampen a soft microfiber cloth with the solution and wipe the acrylic surface in one direction. Avoid circular motions that can leave swirl marks. Never use abrasive pads or scrub brushes on acrylic.
- Clean the Silicone Wrist Rest: Submerge the silicone wrist rest in the soapy water and gently scrub with a soft sponge or brush. Pay attention to textured areas. Avoid sharp objects that can puncture or tear the silicone.
- Rinse and Dry Thoroughly: Rinse both wrist rests with clean water. Pat dry with a lint-free towel, then let silicone air-dry completely before use. Using a damp silicone wrist rest can cause slipping and bacterial growth.
