    If it's microfiber, then use hot water in a bucket to open up the fibers and add soap as nacr05 suggested. Don't use bleach or fabric softener.

    ok i'm going to assume it's a microfiber cause it's definitely doesn't have to feel of a regular cloth

    That sheet is to protect the LCD panel. I've had problems with other notebooks where unremoveable marks on the LCD panel would eventually appear(usually from the spacebar), so the sponge helps to protect the panel from rubbing by the keyboard. I'd strongly suggest using it for longer transport trips. I don't bother using it for just briefly moving around the house.

    Didn't get a microfibre cloth with mine, but I've already got several kicking around... need to use them as my screen is in dire need of a cleaning... Just wish that the 725-074US had a matte display...
