Most laptops come with a special utility installed for making adjustments to the behavior of the touchpad. It is usually accessed via an icon in your system-tray (down by the clock). If you dont find one there, go into your control panel and look for the mouse icon. You should be able to adjust the sensitivity there as well.

We rarely will wash our hands just to use our computer. If you have the owners manual, check to see if there is a section on cleaning the touchpad. You must be careful about cleaning this device, as it must remain sensitive to the presence of your finger in order to work. A mild soap solution in a damp sponge will probably clean the touchpad without getting water into the case of the laptop. Avoid rubbing alcohol, lighter fluid, or strong detergents, such as Dawn. Do not pour liquid onto the touchpad, and do not rub the touchpad with an abrasive pad.
