The mat quickly absorbs moisture and dirt, so regular care is necessary. In this article, you will learn exactly how to clean and store your yoga mat.
How to clean a yoga mat
You can also clean your yoga mat with dishwashing liquid - add a few drops of the product to a water bottle. Too much soap should not be used, otherwise the mat will dry for a long time.
It is enough to spray the mat with the finished mixture and wipe it with a sponge. Remove excess water or soap with a clean towel.
The rug can be wiped with a damp sponge or sprayed with an antibacterial spray. The rug can be rinsed in the shower with warm water using a neutral detergent. After washing, let the water drain. Because rubber is porous, it absorbs water like a sponge.
Can you wash your yoga mat in the washer
Usually yoga mats made of PVC, EVA or fabrics are machine washable! But we categorically do not recommend washing yoga mats made of cork or natural rubber! For them, washing may be the last.
How often do you need to carry out a "general cleaning" of the mat
If possible, try to clean your yoga mat every time you use it, or at least once a week. We also advise you to leave the mat for some time in the open sun to kill fungus and bacteria.
How to store your yoga mat
Store your yoga mat in a folded state - as you received it when you bought it. It is advisable to store the rug in a case or bag. You need to fold the rug with the bottom side inward so that the edges do not bend up. We recommend sometimes turning the rug in the other direction.
