How to Clean Yoga Mat

One way to clean your mat is using a yoga mat spray cleaner. Cleaning with spray cleaner will help eliminate any bacteria or dirt on the carpet and will leave it smelling fresh and clean. You can also use soap and water, but this might not be as effective as a spray cleaner because you will need to scrub harder than a spray cleaner.

2) Clean the mat’s surface by moving the vacuum cleaner back and forth.

3) After cleaning, turn off the vacuum cleaner and remove it from the surface of your mat.

4) Put your mat in a place where it can air dry overnight.

3. Wipe down the entire surface of the mat in one direction to remove all dirt and bacteria from the mat’s surface.
4. Take the wet towel off and repeat steps 1-2 until the mat is clean
