Default How do you clean a cloth mousepad?

I own a Steelseries Qck Heavy mousepad. And it gets linty or dusty every 30 minutes. I use a lint roller to remove the gunk. Are their any better methods? My source of dust probably comes from being near a window and having carpet floors.

I use weak dish soap, diluted with water, with a cloth rag. Wipe the whole pad in small circles, rinse it off, then leave it out to dry.

Do you have a good picture which indicates how dusty it might be? Mine doesn't look that dusty, but could still need some cleaning with a wet rag once a week.

I just use a damp cloth, wiping somewhat vigorously, and then vacuum it dry. Then again, I own a vacuum that takes off limbs if I'm not careful.
