Simple Steps to Cleaning a Yoga Mat

Yoga mats take a lot of punishment while providing you a stable surface to perform your exercises.

Keeping your mat clean is a good way to keep the experience optimal during your routine.

We offer you some simple steps to cleaning your yoga mat.

Supplies Needed:

• Mild Soap (dish soap will work)
• Clean Cloth or Rag
• Bowl or Spray Bottle
• Warm Water

Steps to Cleaning a Yoga Mat:

1. Prepare the Cleaning Solution: Mix a few drops of mild soap with warm water in a spray bottle or a bowl.
2. Spray or Dip: Lightly spray the solution onto the mat or dip a clean cloth or rag into the soapy water.
3. Wipe Down: Gently scrub the mat with the cloth, focusing on any problem areas.
4. Rinse: Wipe the mat with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
5. Dry: Lay the mat flat or hang it to air dry completely before rolling it up. Laying the mat flat will require you to flip it so the underside also gets dry.
