Great product, lightly scented
I just received this product yesterday. I decided to use it right away because I'm starting a new yoga class tomorrow and wanted my mat to be fresh and clean since I can't recall the last time I've cleaned it, and it's also been a whole since I've used it. (Yikes. Lol)<br /><br />I received my Asutra spray quickly, within the two day Prime window as promised. I noticed coming out of the package there was a faint scent, but the bottle didn't seem to be leaking. Probably just got jostled in transit.<br /><br />After reading the label, I decided to go with the deep-cleaning option. Also, after seeing that other reviewers used a white towel on their first cleaning, I decided to try the same. Wow, I was impressed with the results.<br /><br />So here's my take:<br /><br />I shook up the bottle, as directed. I thoroughly sprayed down the "up" side of my mat, the side I usually face. It took a pretty decent amount of product to make sure the mat was covered, but not soaking wet. I let it sit for a few minutes (instead of just the recommended two, because I was doing other chores) and then took a damp, wet, cotton towel to the mat. I folded it in half, and rubbed in circles, starting at one end of the mat, and working my way to the other end. After the "up" side air dried, I flipped it over to clean the "bottom," the side that usually touches the floor, and repeated the process. I have not yet used the blue micro fiber cloth that came with it, but will likely carry that with me in my tote to clean after sessions.<br /><br />Here are some pros:<br /><br />•Pleasant, lightweight, quickly dissipating scent. I ordered the "uplifting eucalyptus," because I'm lavender-ed out. Lol<br />•The product is very lightweight, and did not leave any obvious residue on the mat, nor my hands. It didn't feel oily, and I didn't notice.<br />•After cleaning, my mat looked so fresh and so much better, and no longer looked dingy and old.<br />•I received my order in a timely manner, in new condition, and it was accurate.<br /><br />Some cons:<br /><br />•None, really. I did notice that if you don't shake the bottle well enough, the spritzer kind of "spits" droplets out, instead of a perfect mist, but this was easily and immediately remedied by shaking the bottle again. This would be the case with any bottle of this type.<br />•I read in other reviews that they experienced residue on their mats upon first using it after cleaning with this product. If I experience that, I'll be sure to update my review to include details.<br /><br />Overall, I am pleased and would recommend this product!
