I know there is regular wear and tear on a mousepad, but to what extent does that affect the usability of the mousepad? How can I prevent the white residue or other debris from affecting mouse traction? Any general mousepad care tips?
 
Solution
The white residue you're speaking of might be sweat(and subsequently salt from your sweat). I usually wash my mouse pad and wring it dry then let it dry under a fan. The rubber on the bottom of a mouse pad is usually coated with bitumen which will degrade if you have stagnant water on it.
