Product Info and Care
Supreme All-In-One Yoga Mat, Cork Mat or Pro Grip?
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.
' Show your yoga mat some love!'
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, and how the mat is stored.
Please see below for specific care instructions for each type of yoga mat, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding our products. Our yoga mats have a one year warranty. If you experience any issues beyond regular wear and tear within one year, please contact us with photos and a description of the problem, as well as an original receipt or proof of purchase. Yoga mat samples and factory seconds are final sale and there are no exchanges, warranty or refund.
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! Hand washing or wiping down with a mat spray (like our calming Lavender and Tea Tree) after most practices 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, 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. Before first use and after each use, clean with a damp cloth or a yoga mat spray suitable for PU like our calming Lavender and Tea Tree. Be sure to wipe the sweat off immediately after you practice/work out so it doesn't settle. Household chemical cleaners can cause corrosion. 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! 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 and can cause peeling. If you are a sweaty yogi that practices daily and find your mat isn't drying out completely before the next use, it might be helpful to have more than one mat in your rotation. Friction on a damp mat makes it more susceptible to surface damage and odour.
Store your yoga mat in shade and avoid long sun exposure. Using body products 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 soak your mat 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. 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.
