How to Care for Your Liforme Mindful Garden Yoga Mat

Quick Answer

To keep your Liforme Mindful Garden Yoga Mat performing at its best, clean it after each session with a gentle spray and wipe, air-dry it flat, and store it rolled or flat away from direct sunlight.

Step-by-Step Care Routine

1. Prepare a gentle cleaning solution: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap or a dedicated yoga mat cleaner with water in a spray bottle. Avoid using vinegar or alcohol-based solutions, as they can degrade the mat's surface. Test the solution on a small corner first to ensure it doesn't affect the print.
2. Spray and wipe the mat: Lightly mist the mat surface, then wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Use gentle, circular motions to remove sweat and dirt. Do not soak the mat or use excessive water, as it can seep into the layers. Wipe in the direction of the mat's grain if you notice any texture.
3. Rinse with a clean damp cloth: After wiping with soap, go over the mat again with a cloth dipped in clean water and wrung out well. This removes any soap residue that could make the surface slippery. Make sure the cloth is only damp, not dripping wet.
4. Air-dry flat: Lay the mat flat on a drying rack or clean towel, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid hanging it, as the weight can stretch the mat. Wait until it's completely dry before rolling. Drying can take a few hours; check both sides before storing.
5. Store properly: Roll the mat with the printed side facing out (or as recommended by the manufacturer) and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or in direct sunlight, which can warp the mat and fade the colors. If you need to store it flat, keep it under a bed or in a closet to protect it from dust.
