What is the best way to clean a yoga mat?
-
Wash thorough well
- you can wash your yoga mat in a tub, using cool water and a small amount of washing up liquid or detergent. Let it soak for a few minutes, and then scrub any stains before rinsing thoroughly and then leaving it to dry completely.
- Always allow a yoga mat to dry naturally, either outside on the washing line, inside on a clotheshorse, or even hanging above the bathtub.
- Some people like to fold their yoga mats inside towels, which can help absorb any excess moisture, but be careful if doing this as it could encourage your yoga mat to dry in a curved manner. If possible, always dry flat.
2.Use yoga mat spray
- If you clean your yoga mat after each use, this way it will stay fresher for longer.
- You could also create a homemade solution using cold water and white vinegar. The vinegar is known for its antibacterial properties.
- Make your own yoga mat cleaner spray. I show you my one of my favorites natural yoga mat spray from Aromahead Institute.
