How often should I clean my yoga mat?Updated 9 hours ago

Every practice leaves behind sweat, skin cells, and oils that can build up over time and contribute to odors. To keep your mat fresh and performing its best, we recommend using Manduka's Mat Wash & Refresh after each practice to help minimize dirt, stains, and odor buildup.

For everyday care, you can also wipe your mat down with warm water and a soft cloth after practice.

For regular maintenance, give your mat a more thorough cleaning about once a week, paying extra attention to the areas where your hands and feet make the most contact.

Deep cleaning is generally only necessary when your mat has been exposed to excessive dirt, germs, or other contaminants. For detailed cleaning recommendations and mat-specific care instructions, visit our Mat Care Guide.
