How should we clean the TPE yoga mat when it is dirty?

Maintaining proper hygiene is crucial, and it is recommended to clean your TPE yoga mat every two weeks. The most convenient cleaning method involves creating a solution by combining two drops of detergent with four bowls of water. Simply spray the solution onto the mat and wipe it down using a dry cloth. In case your mat is heavily soiled, you can use a cloth dipped in washing powder to gently scrub the surface. Rinse the mat thoroughly with water and then roll it up, pressing a dry towel against it to absorb any excess moisture. Finally, it is essential to allow the yoga mat to air dry completely.

To clean a really dirty yoga mat, you can try filling up your bathtub with cold water and add a mild detergent. Use just enough soap, as excess soap can be slippery and dangerous. Take a wet cloth and gently scrub the mat well, making sure to get out any tough stains or dirt. Once done, rinse it thoroughly to remove all soap residue.

To dry the mat, start by rolling it up tightly with a large dry towel to squeeze out any excess water from the mat. You can then hang the mat outside to air dry completely. Avoid drying it in direct sunlight, as this can cause the colors to fade and even melt the material.

Regular cleaning of your yoga mat can help extend its lifespan and prevent any germs or bacteria buildup, ensuring it stays fresh and hygienic for your next yoga session.
