How should I clean my mat?

Hi David, It can be cleaned with a mild cleaning agent (dish soap or something similar). Make sure that the cleaner doesn't contain bleach as this may discolor the mat. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any further questions. Hope you are enjoying the mat!! Have a wonderful day, Tasha Maydonik Square36

they say spot clean the gym mat, but I throw it in the cold wash and let it air dry without any problems. The pillow is removable. She barely uses it.

I ordered the microfiber dish mat to use under mine. I got it in Amazon as well. Works well! And you can wash the dishmat in the washer.

Use Windex or Expo cleaner to clean the board, it takes off residue.The only mess issue we've had is that if you use too much Windex it runs down the board, which can potentially stain the carpet. Just be careful.

I just use chalk you can buy at Target or Walmart. Cleans off with no problem. About once a week I clean it with a damp cloth.

Yes...the mat can be wiped with a damp cloth that has a little soap if u need it and the cover can be washed in the washing machine with soap but NO fab softener. They recommend washing the cover and the bed sheet often to keep body oils from covering the little threads that make grounding possible. It is very easy to wash. U can even dry it in the dryer on low. I was a little concerned to wash mine at first but I have a tester to make sure it is still grounding and mine is still working. I've had it for over 6 months.

Given the fact that it is solid foamy vinyl stuff, I wouldn't hesitate to throw it into a large washer. You probably wouldn't want to wash it on hot, of course. Or you could take it outside and hose it off. I scrubbed my floor before putting the mats down. So when it comes time to scrub the floor again, I'll just scrub the mats along with it. But I put regular kitchen rugs over them, so they shouldn't get too dirty anyway. Just wash the rugs. This information is worth about what you pay for it. You might want to google the manufacturer.

I use mat wipes on mine. I'm sure you can sponge it with soap and water. No washing machine!

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

The mat is made up of plastic bottles. I have soaked it in a tub, or have even run it in the washing machine if is not too dirty. Hang to dry, or put in a dryer for 5 minutes. Be careful it will shrink if put in the dryer. I have been using the same mat for one year and clean it weekly. It does not hold odor and is very durable.

Honestly, I am not sure about how to clean. I guess if I needed to, I would do a spot cleaning...with a gentle detergent like Woolite and a brush. That is my guess. I do not have a lot of traffic on that bench.....it is in my kitchen nook around my table with many ladder back chairs....so it is rarely used. I do love it still. I hope this helps!

I had the manufacturer replace mine because it of the stains. My new pink mat is better but to prevent any light colored yoga may from staining you must wipe it down on a regular basis. If you're not using manduka's mat wash, which is a spray that you'll get a discount code to order when you receive your mat... Then simply wipe your may down with a simple water and white vinegar home made cleanser. Just put about one tablespoon into every cup of warm water. Use a soft towel to clean. It's really been easy to prevent it from staining as long as your storing your mat properly and keeping it clean- for sanitation purposes it's recommended you clean it after every other use or so.

I wipe it down with simple green to remove the grease that spills on the mat. Hope this is helpful.

Clean as you would any other mat: wipe down with cloth or brush. I usually sit with hand held shower head. When I am through will turn it over and wash off mat, so no build up will occur. If not then, caregiver will wash when cleaning tub, once a week. Since it has hole, water runs through and under mat. Can use bleach on it.

I can not tell you why this is happening to you. I can tell you that my mat is not wet or slimey. After I have dried and put away my dishes I do wipe under the mat and make sure everything is dry. Hope this helps.

Try using Dawn dish soap and a scrub brush to clean off any dust or cat hair that may accumulate on the mat, then just rinse. It works great, just make certain you use a double dose of the dish soap.
