After having a yoga mat, how should I take care of it?
The carefully purchased yoga mat will be your good friend for practicing yoga from now on. Treating good friends naturally requires careful care. If you buy a yoga mat and use it often but never maintain it, the dust and sweat accumulated on the surface of the yoga mat will eventually endanger the owner’s health, so it is also necessary to clean the yoga mat frequently.
To ensure hygiene, it is best to wash it every other week. The easiest way to clean it is to mix two drops of dish soap with four bowls of water, spray it on the yoga mat, and wipe it off with a dry cloth. If the yoga mat is already very dirty, you can also use a cloth dipped in laundry detergent to gently wipe the yoga mat, then rinse it with clean water, and then roll up the yoga mat with a dry towel to absorb excess water. Finally, let the yoga mat dry.
It should be noted that the amount of washing powder should be as small as possible, because once the washing powder remains on the yoga mat, the yoga mat may become slippery. Also, when drying your yoga mat, don’t leave it in the sun.
