Daily maintenance after class: The smell usually comes from people finishing practice and rolling it up straight away and not drying it out first or as soon as they get home. The best way to keep it clean is to spray it down after practice with a diluted solution of water, vinegar and essential oils blend such as lemongrass or tea-tree or eucalyptus oil. Then hang up to dry in a well-ventilated area straight away. If that is not possible, try to hang it up as soon as you get home and rinse it under a shower before spraying it with the diluted oils.

Monthly to Bimonthly maintenance : If your mat is heavily soiled, put it by itself into the washing machine, add a very small amount of a “light” detergent such as Earth Choice Laundry Detergent or Natures Organics Earth Choice Woolwash  and run it through a gentle cycle. Then just hang it to dry as it usually dries overnight;  in the humid summer weather or wet wintery months, it might take a little longer. (Tip, hang it indoors near the heater if you already have the heater on during the winter months). I recommend washing your mat once every couple of months, depending on how often you attend class (Tip, wash every month if you are attending class more than 3 times a week). It’s also a good idea to hang your mat in between classes rather than leave it rolled up.

Getting 18 months use out of 1 yoga mat is pretty good. I change mine every 12 months so, make sure you take the time to maintain your yoga mat and recognise when its time to wipe the slate clean, break in a new mat and build the vibration again.
