How to Clean Your Yoga Mat to Avoid Damage
Do not use detergents containing oily ingredients or organic solvents. The use of alcohol is not recommended. Because each yoga mat is made using different ingredients and processes, alcohol may break down and damage the material, affecting the lifespan of the yoga mat.
Homemade cleaners (vinegar and water) have limited cleaning effects and are insufficient to eliminate bacteria. There are also concerns about residual odor. The Right Way to Keep Your Yoga Mat Clean
