A yoga mat is a must-have for practicing yoga.

Continuing with the wrong care can also accelerate deterioration.

This time, I will introduce how to care for a yoga mat made of TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) .
What is TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)?
TPE is a sustainable (eco) material that does not generate harmful substances such as dioxins when incinerated. It is light, almost odorless , and can be wiped with water for easy care, but please do not soak it in water, just like PVC. After cleaning, let it dry completely in a well-ventilated shade.
important point
Compared to PVC and other materials, it is a material that is more resistant to water, but washing with water is basically NG .
If you always put your hands and feet on the same part of the mat, it will wear out due to friction, so it is recommended to use it evenly by changing the front and back and top and bottom .
Care instructions
1. Spray some household detergent or yoga mat cleaner diluted with water and wipe the entire mat with a soft cloth or sponge.
2. Wipe off the remaining water with a dry cloth.
3. Dry completely in a well-ventilated place without direct sunlight.
