Are cleaners safe to use to clean top of mat? Such as cleaners with clorox in them?

I have used soft scrub with bleach directly on the mat with a brush. No problems.

I can NOT say if any cleaners or clorox are "safe" to clean the mat. I can say that I have personally used clorox to cleanthe tub and mat and I have not NOTICED any issues to date. The mat SEEMS to be in the same good condition as when itwas purchased. I hate to be so noncommittal but I can only tell you about my personal experience. I will also say that my child seems safer and has never slipped in the tub since we got the mat. I think it's been great for a baby and has not caused anyissues with adults using the shower.

Definitely. I use a Walmart product called Grime Busters. They are cheap & wetter. I have very soft old pine floors also & just use a dry Swiffer cloth on them.

First of all. I bought a spare mat. So I can wash and dry one, while the other is in use. I put old newspapers in the tray to help absorb most of the moisture. Daily, hose the mat throughly first. then a little soap a little scrub and a second hose rinse. Finally, mist with chlorine based kitchen/bathroom cleaner. let it dry all night. I strongly advice to be sure theres are no traces of urine, before using the chlorine, as very harmful vapors may emanate if those two mixes. Keep in mind that we live in a small apartment, so the shower is the place for the mat cleaning.

I find the mat to be easy to care for. Most days I just sweep it off when I am sweeping the kitchen floor. If something would happen to get spilled on it, I just wipe it off with a damp rag. I would never consider laundering it. It is so easy to care for it with a damp rag.

First, shake it outside until no more litter falls out... (hang it and beat it with a broom) ...if you're using clumping litter you'll have a real headache when you go to hose it off. I tried all sorts of odor neutralizing products, but nothing worked and my cats started to prefer the mat to the box. When I trashed the mat, nobody peed outside the box anymore. I picked up a few carpet remnants and they worked equally well... at $1 each it wasn't a burden to replace them if an accident happened.

Hi Camille,We recommend cleaning your mat with a yoga mat cleaner or a 1:1 ratio of water and either white or apple cider vinegar. A 1:1 ratio of water and lemon juice would work as well.Thanks!Yoga Accessories

Sure thing. You must hand wash the slip cover and the mat you just damp/spot clean. Remember you are not to use any oils or lotions when using this mat.

I honestly cannot say for sure since I use my mat in my office setting and it is on top of carpet. I have used other mats on my kitchen floor; however, where the floor was washed and it did not seem to affect the mat in any way. I really don't think it will affect this mat either since it is a sturdy rubber back. Hope this helps.

The packaging enclosed with this product does not indicate its anti-bacterial. Care instructions states it can be machine wash or hand wash separately. What I do is wipe my counter top with Clorox or Lysol disinfecting wipes prior to placing the mat. Hope this is helpful.

Oh, I agree with response regarding using Orek cleaners. They are much better than the store cleaners I previously tried.

Cleaning is fairly simple. Use a slightly damp towel (preferably microfiber) and wipe gently. Lightly agitate little specs that tend to stick on the mat. Excellent mats for the kitchen area.

I originally used clorox wipes and it worked fairly well. after a while, you can still see dingy spots so I started using Mr Clean Magic Erasers. You can't use it regularly because it would be too harsh but once in awhile works and the chair looks as good as new.

I haven't had a problem. If there has been any residue (adhesive) I use a clorox wipes or a wet paper towel.

No, the pad has raised sides (think mini bathtub) so it will stay in the pad. All you have to do is wipe it up afterwards and hit it with a Clorox wipe and you are good to go (I'll usually then wipe with another baby wipe so no harsh cleaner is left on the mat).

NOT AT ALL! It is great stuff! It has saved my knees and back for years. Only drawback, it wears out. The top ridges begin to "crumble" with heavy use and sweeping after about six months. Then, if it is worn out and you have it in the kitchen and spill something on it, the mat will absorb it like a sponge. I have a crazy active kitchen, though, so it might last you much longer. I just replace it when it is worn out. It is also easy to mop and cleans and dries well.

First, I sweep off any dust particles or crumbs then, I use a light warm damp cloth to clean the mat. If you choose a lighter colored mat (I have dark brown), then you may have to be careful what type of cleaner in case any coloring gets on mat. Otherwise, water and cloth or sponge is best way to go.

I use either plain water, water and vinegar with a drop of dish detergent, or water and hydrogen peroxide. I don't use floor cleaners that require a rinse.
