Having a beautiful mat is great, but taking care of it is extremely important to ensure it lasts.

Here are some simple tips to help your mat last:

Keep it Clean

Spraying your mat down after each use and giving it a good wash once a week or after approximately 7 uses is extremely important. Keeping your mat clean will prolong it’s life and keep it smelling great when you use it.

Keep it Dry

Ensuring that your mat is properly dry before packing it away is vital. Rolling up and storing a damp mat will allow germs to breed and your mat will start to smell. Your mat will also deteriorate faster than if you store it away completely dry

Roll it Don’t Fold it

By folding your mat, you create weak lines and these areas are more prone to wear and tear. By rolling your mat it evenly distributes the wear ensuring it lasts longer

Flip it

Rotate your mat with every practice. This allows for an even distribution of use front and back and side to side so that the mat doesn’t wear in one specific area e.g. where you always put your hands.
