If you cannot find the manufacturer\u2019s care instructions on the mat or its package, you can try researching online. Yoga mats are not cheap. To prolong the life of your mat, you need to properly clean it according to the specifications suited for its material. Some materials, such as eco-friendly mats, get damaged or scratched when washed and sun-dried regularly.<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Check if you can wash, machine, or manual&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/best-yoga-mats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">your yoga mat<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.

To be sure, read the instructions and go with what is advised.<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Check what chemicals are recommended and what\u2019s best to avoid for your yoga mat. Some chemicals are effective in removing dirt as well as germs. But some chemicals are also harmful to the material of your mat. In general, it\u2019s best to use gentle cleansers on your mat.<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Check if you can sun dry your mat or not. Some yoga mats, especially those made of PVC or foam, easily tend to crack or crumble when overly dried under direct sunlight.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types-of-Cleaning-Agents-You-Can-Use\"><\/span>Types of Cleaning Agents You Can Use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Commercial agents<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;that are chemically prepared for yoga mats are available in the market.

You do not need to fill the tub to the brim.<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you are using commercial mat cleaners, follow the cleaning instructions that usually come with the product. If you are using detergent or dishwashing soap, add this to water using the ratio of 1 tablespoon of dishwashing soap\/detergent to a gallon of water. Minimize soap use as this can damage your mat.<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Soak for about 15 to 30 minutes to soften stains and dissolve dirt. You can also add baking soda to remove the smell and stubborn stains.<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wipe the surface using a damp cloth. Scrub stains gently using a soft brush. Take care not to scratch the surface of the mat.<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rinse the yoga mat thoroughly with water to remove all detergent\/ soap residue. Use the shower to rinse the soap from the mat and remove dirt that clings to the surface. The detergent residue left unwashed can cause discoloration on your mat. It also leaves an unpleasant odor. It could also cause your mat to become slippery the next time you use your mat. And some detergent ingredients could also be harsh on your skin.<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hang your yoga mat to drain the water. Please leave it to air dry. Please do not roll your mat as you leave it to dry to avoid having a curved mat. Use a towel to wipe the water off the surface from top to bottom and front to back. Air drying can take up to two days. Use a fan and direct air to the mat to speed up the drying process.<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Make sure your yoga mat is fully dry before using it again. A moist mat can be a haven for microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi to multiply. Better yet, have an extra mat as an alternative. Sundry your mat if it is indicated in the care instructions. But, make sure not to over-dry the mat, or it will crumble.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-To-Maintain-a-Clean-Yoga-Mat\"><\/span>How To Maintain a Clean Yoga Mat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here are some additional tips on how to care for your yoga mat.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Place your yoga mat on a clean flat surface.<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wash or bathe before yoga.

If you practice at a studio, ask the staff what cleaning method they recommend. You may also want to bring your own cloth or towel to wipe down your mat after class. Wash your hands before touching your mat. If you&#8217;re practicing at home, you might want to invest in a reusable mat cover. A cover will protect your mat from spills, stains, and other damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-Deep-Clean-a-Mat\"><\/span>How to Deep Clean a Mat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it&#8217;s important to note that even if you&#8217;re diligent about cleaning your mat, there&#8217;s still a chance you&#8217;ll need to deep clean it. This is especially true if you do hot yoga regularly. You might also need to deep clean your mats more frequently if you use them for other activities like running or lifting weights. The best way to clean your mat is to soak it in lukewarm water with a few drops of dish soap. Make sure to thoroughly rinse the mat after soaking it. If you have a large area rug, you may need to deep clean yoga mat at least once every few months. You can either hire someone to come in and do it for you, or you can do it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can-I-clean-a-yoga-mat-in-a-washing-machine\"><\/span>Can I clean a yoga mat in a washing machine?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoga mats are made from natural materials, like cotton or bamboo, and are often machine washable. Some <a href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/are-gaiam-yoga-mats-pvc-free\/\">yoga mats<\/a> even double as blankets when folded in half. If you&#8217;re concerned about washing your mat, just follow the directions on the label. Don&#8217;t turn your washing machine on unless instructed to do so, and don&#8217;t add any harsh detergent. Also, if you fold your mat in half before washing it, it will keep its shape better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can-I-use-Clorox-wipes-on-my-yoga-mat\"><\/span>Can I use Clorox wipes on my yoga mat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for an alternative to bleach, there are many natural ways to sanitize your mat. You could also try baking soda, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, essential oils, and essential oil blends. Be sure to read the labels carefully before buying any cleaning products. Some ingredients can irritate sensitive skin or cause allergies. You can clean your mat using natural products like baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide, salt, or soap. These ingredients will help remove dirt and bacteria while leaving your mat soft and smelling fresh. You can even add essential oils to your cleaning solution to give your mat a pleasant aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, cleaning a yoga mat in the bathtub is a great way to get rid of any dirt or bacteria that may be on the mat. Fill your bathtub with warm water and add 1 tablespoon of dishwashing liquid soap per gallon of water. Make sure to use hot water and soap, and scrub the mat well. Rinse it off with clean water, and allow it to air dry. Keep in mind that sometimes the acids in white vinegar degrade the fabric.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yoga mats, like laundry, get stinky and dirty from use over time.
