Use & Care
For daily refresh: Keep your eKO® mat smelling fresh and clean by wiping it down after every practice with Manduka’s Mat Wash & Refresh. Use a clean cloth to wipe the mat dry before rolling or using.
For monthly restore: Maintain the performance of your eKO® mat by applying Manduka’s Natural Rubber Yoga Mat Restore once a month. Allow the cleaner to sit for 5 minutes and then use a clean cloth to gently wipe the mat dry before rolling or using.
DO NOT put the eKO® Series in the washing machine, as it will damage the mat and increase the breakdown of the rubber mat
DO NOT soak or submerge the eKO® Series in water
DO NOT use the salt method on the eKO® Series
Usage of the eKO® Series in a hot environment can dry out the rubber and thus loose performance and reduce flexibility of the material.
If used in hot areas, ensure to use the Natural Rubber Yoga Mat Restore more regularly to maintain performance
Always ensure your mat and the floor are completely dry before placing your mat on the floor. A wet mat or wet floor can cause color transfer and staining to the floor
