How Should You Care for a Yoga Mat?
Start with the care instructions for your mat. Rubber, cork, and other surfaces can require different cleaning methods.
A simple care routine
- Remove surface dust and wipe away sweat after use.
- If permitted by the manufacturer, clean with a lightly damp cloth and diluted mild soap.
- Wipe away residue without saturating the mat.
- Air dry completely before rolling or storing.
Avoid machine washing, soaking, bleach, or essential oils unless your mat’s instructions specifically allow them. Store it in a dry place away from prolonged direct sun and high heat.
