Cleaning your
yoga or exercise mat…
For a deep
cleaning, warm water and mild soap works, but what we really need is a daily
spray we can use to wipe down my mat after every use.
The "yoga
mat washes" out there you can purchase, $10 seems like a bit of a rip-off.
Here is a DIY recipe for our own all-natural mat cleaner, there are two easy
and inexpensive recipes:
Recipe
#1:
Three drops of
tea tree oil
Two drops of
peppermint oil
Two drops of
lavender oil
Distilled water
Recipe
#2
This is for a
stronger antibacterial/antifungal spray.
1 part warm water
with 3 parts white vinegar
Add 8-12 drops of
essential oils like eucalyptus, lemongrass, lavender, mint, or tea tree oil
For both
solutions, mix thoroughly and place the solution in a spray bottle.

Cleaning Instructions:
1. Spray your
yoga mat cleaner liberally over the surface of your mat. If your mat seems
especially dirty, let the cleanser sit and soak in a bit before cleaning it
off.
2. Wipe the yoga
mat with a wet cloth or sponge. When the cleanser has been thoroughly removed,
rub the mat down with a soft dry cloth, like a small towel or washcloth. Now
repeat on the other side.
3. Allow your mat
to air dry, which should take only about 5 to 10 minutes. If it takes longer
than this, try rubbing your mat down more with the towel to remove the excess
water and speed up the drying time.
