How to store yoga mats?
1. Regularly wipe to maintain cleanliness.
Regardless of the material of the yoga mat, it needs to be wiped regularly to maintain cleanliness. Practicing yoga on a clean yoga mat can bring a joyful and peaceful mindset. If the material is inconvenient to wipe, it can be cleaned regularly, air dried, and reused.
2. The cushion should not be touched by oil.
Yoga mats need to have anti slip function during use, so the mat is afraid of oil and should not be touched by any oily objects. Otherwise, the anti slip function will be damaged and cannot be used normally. When storing, avoid areas such as the kitchen and warehouse that may stick to oil, and it is best to wrap a layer of bag outside the yoga mat.
3. Do not stick to the transparent tape.
The viscosity of transparent tape is sufficient to damage the surface material layer of the yoga mat, resulting in uneven surface, weakening the anti slip performance of the yoga mat, and affecting its normal use during yoga. So, be careful not to stick with transparent tape when storing.
4. Do not expose to sunlight.
The cleaned yoga mat is suitable for ventilation and drying in a cool place. Remember not to use the yoga mat in the sunlight. Yoga mats exposed to sunlight can cause material denaturation, softening, and affect normal daily use. When going for outdoor yoga, it is best to choose time periods such as early morning and dusk, when the sunlight is not too strong, which is more suitable.
5. It is important to use it frequently instead of always curling it up.
Yoga practice requires diligence, and yoga mats will always have the opportunity to be used. One of the best ways to maintain a yoga mat is to use it regularly and not always roll it up. It is best to practice 3-5 times a week or more, so that the yoga mat can also reach this frequency.
6. Do not use organic substances to clean the mat.
Remember not to use organic substances, such as gasoline, to clean the mat when cleaning. Just wipe with clean water. If you really feel dirty, you can also take a small amount of neutral detergent, wipe it off at the stain, and rinse it clean under flowing water.
7. Remember to completely dry before rolling up.
After cleaning, remember to roll up and store the yoga mat after it has completely dried. Do not roll it up and place it before the moisture has completely evaporated. This can lead to mutual adhesion of surface materials, affecting daily use.
