How do I clean my Mat?

Find below some simple cleaning tips to help clean and protect your Yoga mat to keep it in great shape for your practice. Depending on how intense your practices are, we recommend two types of cleaning methods.

Maximising Mat Longevity: Essential Do's and Don'ts

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Liforme mat, it's important to follow a few key do's and don'ts to make sure you enjoy a consistent and comfortable yoga practice for years to come.

Dry & Store it right

Let the mat dry flat after every practice before rolling it up, no problem to roll it after class, take it home, then unroll to dry. Your mat is designed to be rolled with the top side (the coloured side with the alignment design) on the outside between uses. It’s important to roll it this way to help ensure that your mat lies nice and flat each time you use it for your practice.

Avoid sunlight

Your mat is, very importantly, biodegradable and so prolonged exposure to the sun can speed up the rate of degradation. But don’t worry, our mats are not vampires and they’re OK with the odd bit of sun, so no need to be too worried about this.

Dry & Store it right

Because of the absorbent (and hygienic) materials we use, your skin’s natural oils may mark or stain the surface of your Yoga mat over time.

Try to avoid practising on the mat with freshly applied oily creams or massage oil, as these may cause stains.

The good news is that these sorts of marks will often fade gradually with time or after cleaning. But overall, we say be proud of your mat’s battle scars from all those good Warrior poses!
