Funky Mats - Care Guide
We recommend the following steps to keep your mat in the best condition and last as long as possible:
First Use
- Inspect the mat for any signs of damage and let us know immediately via email if you see any
- The new mat smell is completely normal. Leave unwrapped and it will naturally fade – if taken outside, keep in the shade
- Curling may occur at the ends when wrapped up for a long period of time. Just flatten the mat and place heavy objects like books at the end to reduce this
Cleaning
- Hand wash using a clean, soft damp cloth or eco-friendly soap with water
- For a deep clean, add 200ml of white vinegar to a bath of warm water and soak for 30 minutes
- Do not machine wash. To dry the mat, use a towel
- Wipe down the mat gently and avoid over-cleaning. Scrubbing can damage the non-slip texture and design
- Please do not use any chemical cleaning sprays and we recommend avoiding essential oils
Workouts and Storage
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight – this can cause discolouration
- Keep in mind heavy, repetitive impact could damage the mat. Pilates, yoga, stretching and other low impact moves are best
- Avoid letting pets on the mat – paws and claws can damage the surface
- Limit placing other items on top of the mat
- Avoid placing close to heat sources like a radiator or fire
