How to care for your yoga mat

If your yoga mat is lightly soiled, using a spray bottle or damp cloth, wet the soiled surface with water, then wipe it dry with a clean terry cloth towel. For heavier soiling, wash your yoga mat in a tub of cool water and mild detergent. Use only a small amount of soap because any residue may cause your yoga mat to become slippery when it becomes wet with perspiration. Rub the yoga mat with a soft cloth or let it soak. Rinse thoroughly. To quicken the mat's drying time, lay it on a dry towel and roll the mat and towel together like a sleeping bag. Step on the rolled up mat and towel to squeeze most of the water from your mat into the towel. Unroll your mat and hang it to air dry. With use and washing your yoga mat should become softer and stickier.
