Looking after your cork yoga mat

Caring for your Ecoga mat is an important part of maintaining its quality and extending its lifespan. With the right care and maintenance, your mat can provide you with years of comfortable and stable support for your yoga practice. Here are some tips for caring for your Ecoga mat:

  1. Clean your Ecoga mat regularly. Over time, your cork yoga mat can accumulate sweat, dirt, and bacteria, which can affect its performance and appearance. To clean your cork yoga mat, use a gentle, non-toxic cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the natural surface of the cork.

  2. Store your Ecoga mat properly. When you're not using your cork yoga mat, it's important to store it properly to protect it from damage and extend its lifespan. Avoid storing your cork yoga mat in direct sunlight, as this can cause the cork to fade or dry out. Instead, keep your cork yoga mat in a cool, dry place, away from heat and moisture.

  3. Avoid exposing your Ecoga yoga mat to extreme temperatures. Cork is a natural material that can be sensitive to extreme temperatures. Avoid leaving your cork yoga mat in a hot car, for example, as this can cause the cork to become brittle and break. Similarly, avoid storing your cork yoga mat in a damp basement or garage, as this can cause the cork to mold or mildew.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your cork yoga mat stays in good condition and provides you with the support and stability you need for your yoga practice. With the right care and maintenance, your Ecoga cork yoga mat can provide you with years of comfortable and eco-friendly support.
