How to Clean Your BEND & BEAM Ultra Grip Yoga Mat

Congratulations on your purchase of the BEND & BEAM Ultra Grip Yoga Mat! To keep your mat in peak condition, follow these simple steps for cleaning and maintenance.

Why Clean Your Mat Regularly?

Your yoga mat is your partner in every pose, absorbing sweat, oils, and dirt over time. Cleaning it not only extends its lifespan but also maintains the superior grip and hygiene you love.

Daily Maintenance (Post-Practice)

  1. Wipe Down the Surface

    • After each use, gently wipe the mat with a damp, soft cloth.
    • Avoid using excess water to preserve the mat’s ultra-grip texture.

  2. Air Dry

    • Let your mat dry naturally by laying it flat or hanging it in a shaded area.
    • Avoid direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can damage the material.

Deep Cleaning (Weekly or Biweekly)

  1. Prepare a Gentle Cleaning Solution

    • Mix 1 part mild soap (or gentle dish soap) with 20 parts warm water in a spray bottle.
    • Alternatively, you can use a vinegar and water mix (1:20 ratio) for a natural cleaning solution.

  2. Spot Clean the Mat

    • Spray the solution lightly onto the mat’s surface.
    • Use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth to gently scrub away dirt, sweat, or stains.

  3. Rinse with Care

    • Dampen a clean cloth with water and wipe the mat to remove soap residue.
    • Avoid soaking the mat directly to prevent water damage.

  4. Dry Thoroughly

    • Lay the mat flat or hang it in a well-ventilated, shaded area to dry.
    • Ensure it is completely dry before rolling or storing to prevent odors or mold.

Tips to Protect Your Mat

  • Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Never use bleach, alcohol-based products, or abrasive scrubs as they can degrade the mat’s material.
  • Keep Away from Heat: Store your mat in a cool, dry place away from heaters or direct sunlight.
  • Roll with Care: Always roll your mat with the top (grip) side facing out to maintain its natural shape.

Storage Instructions

  • Store your mat in a mat bag or case to protect it from dust and dirt.

By following these easy steps, your BEND & BEAM Ultra Grip Yoga Mat will remain your trusted companion for years to come. Enjoy every stretch, flow, and pose!
