We recommend giving your mat a thorough cleaning once a week with frequent practice.

First, lightly rinse your mat with water. (No need to fully submerge it) Next, spray it with an anti-bacterial yoga mat spray. See below for an easy-breezy, awesome-smelling, and all-natural DIY cleaner that we use in the WERKSHOP studio! We’ve tested it out and it’s safe for our mats, but we recommend spot testing any new cleaner on a corner of your mat to be sure that it doesn’t affect the printing.) Gently rub the spray into the mat with your hand and then lightly rinse again. Hang the mat up to dry - it may take a day to dry, depending on what season you're in.  Voila!  Squeaky clean, happy-smelling mat!

DO NOT aggressively scrub your mat or use harsh/chemical sprays. To maximize longevity, we don't recommend putting your mat in the washing machine or tumble dryer. It can make the rubber crumble over time.

DIY Mat Cleaner with Essential Oils!

Fill a spray bottle with 2-4 ounces of distilled or spring waterAdd 2-4 drops of tea tree oilAdd 2-4 drops of lemongrass oil. Shake thoroughly to mix and spray on your mat!

Tea Tree and Lemongrass essential oils have natural antibacterial and antifungal properties and smell lovely! 

You can also swap out Tea Tree and Lemongrass for Eucalyptus and Mint! That was the original cleaning solution suggested to us by our manufacturing partner =) 

The days of carrying a separate towel to lay on your mat are over! Unlike most other mats that lose traction with moisture, our mat’s microfiber surface offers more and more grip the wetter it gets, making it the perfect companion for sweatier yoga practices or more intensive exercise regimes. 

Please note that with low sweat, low humidity practices, the luxurious, microfiber printed surface can be quite slippery when dry - especially when the mat is new, as it'll feel particularly velvety straight out the box.  But not to worry! You can easily use a spray bottle with water to spritz the surface of your mat at the beginning of your practice and again as needed to bring out the activate the grip. 

If you happen to sweat excessively during practice (like myself) you may find your sweat pooling on the surface of the mat near the end of class. This can cause you to loose traction and slip. If this should happen, be sure to use a towel to mop up any extra sweat that is pooling to get back to that perfect "sweet spot" of grip that you get at the beginning of class.
