Yoga mats made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) materials are usually more durable than yoga mats made of PU (polyurethane) and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) materials, but they are also more prone to dirt and wear. Here are some methods to clean TPE yoga mats:
1. Use warm water and neutral detergent:
Mix warm water with a small amount of neutral detergent, then place the yoga mat in water, gently rub and squeeze. Do not use bleach or detergents containing chlorine, as this may damage the TPE material.
2. If rinsing with clean water:
Once cleaning is completed, gently dry the yoga mat with a sponge or soft cloth. Do not use a hair dryer or dryer as this may deform or damage the mat.
3. Drying:
Dry the yoga mat, preferably in a well ventilated area, and ensure that it is completely dry. Do not use a hair dryer or dryer to quickly dry the yoga mat, as this may damage the material.
4. Regular cleaning:
To maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the yoga mat, it is recommended to clean it regularly every two weeks to a month. If there are stains or grease on the surface of the yoga mat, the above methods can be used for cleaning.
It should be noted that TPE yoga mats need to be handled with care to avoid damage or deformation. If you frequently engage in high-intensity yoga exercises, you may need to clean and maintain the yoga mat more frequently.
