Second, the cleaning method of yoga mat
1. Now there are wet wipes and cleaning liquid specially used for cleaning yoga mats on the market. However, similar cleaning solution will corrode the yoga mat, and the disinfection power is not enough. The whole mat is not wet when used, and it cannot effectively and comprehensively kill bacteria. It is suggested that bodybuilders should rinse with clean water, and don't increase their own risks in order to save trouble for a while.
In order to ensure hygiene, it is best to clean the yoga mat every other week. Some clean women are used to cleaning every time they use it, but it is not necessary. Because too much cleaning will wash away the anti-skid lines on the surface of the yoga mat, which will eventually reduce the anti-skid performance of the mat.
3. Some people are afraid that long-term use of washing powder will do harm to the yoga mat, so you can use shower gel instead. Because shower gel has a certain bactericidal effect, and because it is a product that directly contacts the skin, the composition of shower gel will be much milder.

It can be seen that the main materials of yoga mat are TPE foam, PVC foam, EVA, latex and other materials, and different materials have different characteristics. In addition, you need to pay attention to the cleaning method of yoga mat. For example, it is best to wash the yoga mat once every other week, not after each use, which will affect its anti-skid performance.
