Wiping it once was never enough.
Your Yoga Mat Is Dirtier Than You Think
Honestly, the truth is worse than what I had feared. Germs, bacteria, and fungi congregate in sweaty places and the yoga mat is a more-than-suitable home for them all. Even though your personal yoga mat isn’t being shared with others at a studio, it could still harbor things like ringworm, athlete’s foot, plantar warts, and staph infections if not properly maintained.to immediately eliminate germs, dirt, and oil.
In fact, the disinfectant that’s provided in spray bottles in most yoga studios truly works wonders. Luckily, this solution is easy to conjure up at home. All you have to do is combine equal parts water and white vinegar, then add a splash of tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is naturally antibacterial and antifungal, so it’ll work to kill any unwanted microbes on your mat. Essential oils like lavender and lemon also have similar properties and work well in a homemade solution.
. Scrubbing with your trusty soap and water should do the trick, but be careful about overusing soap and overdoing it with your scrub. If you use too much soap, you risk the mat accumulating a slippery film. Too much scrubbing power might result in the erosion of the grippy texture that’s key for safe use. With just a few drops and a gentler hand, you should be able to rid your mat of any odor or build-up that the disinfectant didn’t address.
