Learn the safest way to clean your Liforme Very Near Perfect yoga mat, including step-by-step instructions and what to avoid to preserve its grip and eco-friendly inks.
Quick answer
Use a gentle spray of water and mild dish soap, then wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or soaking the mat to protect the eco-friendly inks and non-slip surface.
Why gentle cleaning matters for Very Near Perfect mats
Liforme's Very Near Perfect mats, like the Mother Earth edition, use specially developed eco-friendly and non-toxic inks for their alignment design. Harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing can fade these prints and degrade the mat's natural grip over time.
Because these mats are sold at a discount due to minor cosmetic imperfections, the underlying performance and materials are identical to full-price versions. That means the same careful cleaning routine applies—no shortcuts that could compromise the mat's durability.
Step-by-step cleaning process
- Prepare your cleaning solution: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water in a spray bottle. Shake gently to combine. Avoid using vinegar, bleach, or essential oils, which can break down the mat's surface. A simple soap-and-water mix is all you need; stronger additives can strip the mat's grip.
- Lightly mist the mat: Lay the mat flat on a clean surface. Spray the solution sparingly onto a soft microfiber cloth, not directly onto the mat. Wipe the entire surface in gentle, circular motions, focusing on areas where sweat or dirt accumulate. Never soak the mat or pour liquid directly on it—excess moisture can seep into the layers and cause delamination.
- Rinse and dry properly: Dampen a second clean cloth with plain water and wipe away any soap residue. Then use a dry towel to blot the mat. Roll it loosely and let it air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat sources before rolling it tight for storage. Allow the mat to dry fully before the next use to prevent slipping and bacterial growth.
