Is it easy to clean? After a while dirt starts accumulating in the cooling pad and i am looking for something that can be cleaned easily.

If you have a source of compressed air you can blow it clean. It's not really made to be taken apart and wiped clean.

You can open it on the bottom by unscrewing a few screws if you don't want to use compressed air, btw.

Yes, it is easy to clean. I haven't had any issues with dirt buildup yet, but a can of compressed air would easily clean out the fan areas. So far all I've needed to do is wipe down the outside for the little bit of dust that has gotten on it, and I've had it for several months and use it on a constant basis.

yes it is very easy to clean and there is one small attachment that comes off.it is also very quiet and you can add any combination to make a froth.

I have used the current one for close to a year of daily use 5+ hours mostly for FPS gaming and it has worn what I would call the first couple layers down to where it looks smooth in a couple spots. You can't feel these spots while moving the mouse but if the light shines on it you can tell its worn down some, at this point I simply flipped the pad over and had a new pad again because it is so large I only use half of it to begin with. I just noticed they were on sale so I grabbed another one with the purchase of my new mouse I would recommend this pad to anyone for anything. I personally HATE the feeling of the cloth pads if you are looking for a harder surface that will last this is the right one for you!

Sorry, no. We don't use it much. Ours doesn't stay cool as long as reported. If you have to clean yours it's obviously working for you.

actually one of the things i love about this laptop i the cooling feature. When gaming, it gets, warm. When just using it to go on the web, it spits out cold air. like if i left it on right now, it would be some good air conditioning.

The fan is actually pretty noisy. It looks cool, but for all the noise it makes, it just doesn't move the air enough. As for cleaning, the. Fan is in the base of the unit. I haven't tried to clean it yet. Don't want to disassemble it for fear of breaking it. Get a Lasko high power tower fan. It moves a big amount of air and is less then 1/2 the price.

I'm puzzled about the rave reviews regarding cool touch, too. The palm rest area on mine stays cool, but the touchpad is warm - warm enough to make it uncomfortable for me. And the first time I used it, I also experienced significant heat on the underside of the laptop on the side closest to the fan. It doesn't seem to get quite as warm now, but still warm enough that I don't want it sitting on my lap for very long. It's certainly not as cool, top or bottom, as our little Asus netbook.

I haven't had any problems with cleaning it. I use it daily and it's spotless.

it is easy to clean, everything about the fan is great, but it is a little loud

YES, If was able to post pics I would. It has heatsinks that go to the CPU and to the GPU and both are interconnected and each heatsink comes out to a fan for a total of two fans. After removing bottom cover it would be very easy to clean any dust out of the fans unlike my last ASUS (careful do not let fingers slide on bottom cover edge as pop it off after screws are out, I sliced the crap out of my finger, lol) I have removed the bottom cover with a T5 Torx bit to check a few things (will be taking the HD out for an SSD, adding another 8GB stick of RAM and mailing my keyboard out at some point for blue back-lighting to be added to the keyboard).

there are no cleaning instructions included, but I will tell you that it cleans up like a dream. It is stainless steel and that is one of the easiest to clean. Mine still looks like brand new. Wash in soapy water (with dawn detergent) that will do the trick. Do NOT use a brillo pad or such! It should clean up very easily!

It appears to be fairly easy to clean, the top is called a "brushed suede like fabric" it seems like microfiber, warm soapy water on a wash cloth looks like it will handle most things on it. We've only used it once so far and it didn't really get that dirty, but it seems like it would be very easy to clean. If you spray it with silicon water proofing before your first use it will be very easy to clean.

Great Question :) So you just follow the instructions in the manual on how to clean it with water and it also comes with a cleaning brush to clean it with. Let me know if it has any other questions :) Thanks Dustin GreatVacs (Seller)

I purchased one. I only used it once last year but worked well and look forward to using it more this summer. You want to make sure inside is free from dust/dirt before putting pad inside. Just keep sealed even when not using and pad is clean also. I like mine

Hi Sis, I found it very easy to clean. I had no problems at all. I did rinse and wash right after using it and that may have helped.

It is a great desk pad. I have encountered no problems cleaning it. It has a matte finish that does show anything oily immediately but, a damp cloth removes everything nicely.

It just depends on how often you use fan, I have been using mine since last October and they aren't dirty yet. love it
