After washing the newly bought yoga mat with clear water, put it on the balcony and air dry naturally for a few days. It will taste better after blowing the wind.

But I once bought a yoga mat, and it still smells pungent after washing and blowing for half a month. I'm afraid to use it. It's really a quality problem. It may be made of waste plastic. Even if you exercise on it, it is not safe. The smell is too strong.

Finally, we had to throw it into the trash can. Buy a yoga mat in a reputable store, and don't be greedy and cheap. In this case, you won't be satisfied with the mat you bought, and the taste is very pungent. It's not good for health either.
