Proper Cleaning Techniques with EarthSential

Step-by-step instructions on how to effectively clean your mat and maintain its freshness.

Step 1: Start by spraying a section of the mat and use a clean micro-fiber cloth to gently wipe the surface in a circular motion. Move across the entire mat, paying attention to all areas, including the corners and edges. This allows the cleaner to penetrate deep into the mat and remove any dirt or sweat buildup.

Step 2: Wipe off with a damp cloth.

Step 3: Air Dry in a well ventilated area.

In terms of frequency, it’s recommended to clean your mat after every few uses or whenever it becomes visibly dirty or sweaty. Regular cleaning helps to maintain the hygiene and durability of your mat, ensuring a clean and safe practice environment.

Additionally, it’s important to allow your mat to dry properly before rolling it up or storing it. This helps to prevent the growth of mold or mildew.

Maintaining Your Yoga Mat’s Longevity

Your yoga mat is not just a tool for your practice; it’s also an investment in your well-being. To ensure its longevity and keep it in top shape, here are some essential tips to follow:

Regular Cleaning with EarthSential:

Regular cleaning is key to maintaining the integrity of your yoga mat. By using EarthSential, you can effectively remove dirt, sweat, and bacteria that accumulate over time. Regular cleaning prevents these impurities from seeping into the mat’s material, keeping it fresh and hygienic for each practice. 

Proper Storage:

Properly storing your yoga mat when not in use is essential for its longevity. Rolling your mat up neatly and storing it in a dry, cool place can prevent it from getting damaged or becoming a breeding ground for mold or mildew. Avoid storing your mat in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as these can cause the material to deteriorate or fade.

Avoiding Direct Sunlight:

Direct sunlight can be harmful to your yoga mat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the mat’s color to fade and the material to become brittle over time. Whenever possible, store your mat in a shaded area or use a mat bag or cover to protect it from the sun’s rays.

Regular Inspections:

Take a few moments to inspect your mat periodically for any signs of wear and tear. Look for areas where the mat may be thinning or developing cracks. By catching these issues early on, you can address them promptly, either through repairs or by considering a replacement if necessary.

By following these maintenance practices, you can extend the lifespan of your yoga mat and continue to enjoy its support and comfort for years to come. Remember, a well-cared-for mat is not only a joy to practice on but also an investment in your practice and overall well-being.
