How to Restore Grip on a Liforme Yoga Mat

Quick answer

Restore grip on your Liforme yoga mat by cleaning it with a mild soap and water solution, then letting it air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive moisture to protect the GripForMe® surface.

Steps to restore grip on your Liforme mat

1. Prepare a gentle cleaning solution: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water in a spray bottle. Avoid using vinegar, bleach, or alcohol-based cleaners, as they can damage the mat's surface. Common mistake: using harsh cleaners that strip the grip material.
2. Spray and wipe the mat: Lightly mist the solution onto a soft cloth (not directly on the mat) and wipe the entire surface. For stubborn spots, use a soft-bristled brush with gentle circular motions. Checkpoint: Avoid soaking the mat; excess moisture can seep into the foam core.
3. Rinse with a damp cloth: Use a clean cloth dampened with plain water to remove any soap residue. Residue can make the mat slippery and attract more dirt. Common mistake: skipping the rinse step, which leaves a slippery film.
4. Air dry completely: Lay the mat flat or hang it over a rod in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Do not use a dryer or heater. Drying usually takes 1–2 hours. Checkpoint: Using the mat while damp reduces grip and can cause mold.
5. Test grip before next practice: Once dry, press your palms and feet firmly on the mat to check for slip. If it still feels slippery, repeat the cleaning process or consider a deeper clean with a dedicated yoga mat cleaner. Common mistake: assuming one clean fixes all grip issues; heavy buildup may need multiple passes.
