Mat Info and Care Instructions
All-In-One, Pro Grip Original or Pro Grip Luxe Mat?
This chart can help you decide which is the best Supported Soul yoga mat for you. Cork mats are similar to Supreme All-In-One mats as they also require moisture to create traction. Not every scenario is covered here, as we all have our own personal preferences!
Please note: only Supreme All-In-One yoga mats are machine washable.

Yoga mats are durable, but they aren't indestructible! The eco-friendly materials used to make our mats require TLC and the longevity will depend on how much you use it, how you wash it, what products and chemicals the surfaces of the mat are exposed to, if your pets spend time on your mat, and how it is stored.
Please refer to the care instructions below for details on how to properly maintain each type of yoga mat. If you have any questions about our products don't hesitate to contact us and we’ll be happy to assist to you.

SUPREME ALL-IN-ONE YOGA MAT
Treat this mat like your favourite pair of jeans and machine wash only when a deep clean is necessary. Use a front-loading washer with no agitator, on the gentle cycle, with cold water, natural detergent and no bleach. You can wrap your mat in a towel to remove excess water. Do not wring. Hang to dry before rolling fabric side out, never put your mat in the dryer or dry it in the sun! Allow your mat to fully dry before rolling it up and storing. Hand washing or wiping down with a mat spray (like our calming Lavender and Tea Tree) after each use will help keep your mat in great condition.The All-In-One mat is made with eco-friendly materials, and depending on how you treat your mat and how much it is used, it is normal to experience wear and tear anywhere from 6 months 3 years after purchase. Regularly machine washing, repeated exposure to sun, allowing your pets on your mat, and using anything but a mild, natural yoga mat cleaner will speed up the degradation process.
PRO GRIP & PRO GRIP LUXE YOGA MAT
The PU and rubber give off a slight natural odour when your new mat is first opened. Lay it flat and allow the smell to dissipate over 24 hours.
Our Pro Grip mats have an open cell surface which allows for full absorption of moisture and sweat for maximum grip. With regular use, it is normal for the top layer to have patches of wear and tear. Depending on the frequency of use and care for the mat, the surface continually works hard to absorb and grip and can eventually lead to breaking down over time. Small pieces may flake off and it doesn’t affect the integrity of the mat, it is just cosmetic and the natural progression of a mat well used and loved.
Leave your yoga mat open to dry after each use and allow your mat to dry completely before rolling it up to store it (shiny side out). When rolled up wet, the surface can stick together causing potential peeling and odour. Do not use household chemical cleaners or dish soap to clean your Pro Grip mat. Higher concentrations of tea tree essential oil such as those used in studio spray bottles can cause discolouration and peeling of the mat surface. When in doubt, use a designated yoga mat spray! If you are a sweaty yogi that practices daily and find your mat isn't drying out completely before the next use, it is helpful to have more than one mat in your rotation. Friction on a damp mat makes it more susceptible to surface damage.
Store your yoga mat in shade and avoid long sun exposure. Using lotions/oils on your body before practicing will affect the grip. Avoid exposure to strong cleaning chemicals on the surface and base of the mat, as they can cause peeling and discolouration. Do not shower, soak or submerge your mat in water or use anything abrasive to clean it. Depending on how you treat your mat and how frequently it is used, it is normal to experience some wear and tear anywhere from 6 months 3 years after purchase. The claws from your furry friends can scratch and puncture the mat surface! Wearing running shoes on your mat will degrade the surface more quickly. Not meant for outdoor use. Not machine washable.
CORK YOGA MAT
Our cork yoga mats have a natural cork top layer and a tree rubber base. Cork contains natural compounds called Phenolics which kill bacteria and fungus. This keeps your mat clean and free from unpleasant odours. You can gently wipe your mat with a soft, damp cloth and if needed, use a mild organic cleaning solution. Not machine washable. Cork naturally repels moisture and dries quickly, hanging or laying your mat flat to dry after a sweaty practice session or cleaning will help it last longer. Always roll your mat cork side out, store in shade and avoid long sun exposure. It is normal to experience some wear and tear anywhere from 6 months 3 years after purchase.
