Our guide on how to clean a yoga mat is worth checking out, but many brands will provide instructions on their website. This will vary depending on the material of your yoga mat.
Some will recommend using warm water and a damp cloth, whereas others may prefer diluted lemon juice in place of warm water. It’s also worth checking if your mat is sensitive to UV light as this might prevent outdoor practice or drying outside.
Most brands recommend avoiding harsh chemicals, washing machines, or dryers if you want your mat to last.
Most importantly, your yoga journey should be fun. Whichever mat you choose, make sure it works for your lifestyle and needs first.
