Eco-friendly yoga mats, like MIYRA’s, are designed to last and perform—if you care for them properly. Here’s a simple guide to help your mat stay fresh, grippy, and biodegradable.
1. Regular Cleaning
-
After Each Practice: Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove sweat and debris.
-
Weekly Deep Clean: Use a mild soap or a yoga mat cleaner (avoid harsh chemicals). Gently scrub, rinse, and air dry flat.
2. Drying & Storage
-
Air Dry Only: Never use a dryer or expose your mat to direct sunlight for long periods. Let it dry flat in a shaded, ventilated area.
-
Roll, Don’t Fold: Roll your mat with the top (grippy) side facing out to prevent curling.
3. Avoiding Common Issues
Don’t
-
❌ Put it in the dryer
-
❌ Use harsh chemicals/bleach
-
❌ Store it damp or rolled wet
4. Eco-Conscious Disposal
-
When your mat reaches the end of its life (typically 1–5 years for MIYRA mats), recycle it if possible or repurpose it for home projects.
Proper care extends your mat’s life and keeps your practice clean and mindful. For more tips, check MIYRA’s care guide or contact us with your questions.
