To preserve the cork surface, I suggest rolling it with the cork-side facing out. This prevents cracking or creasing of the top layer which leads to flaking.

Gentle, natural products are best. Most yoga mat cleaners will meet this requirement.Harsh chemicals can degrade the cork’s surface over time. If you’re unsure, test a small spot first.Read our guide on caring for your cork yoga mat.

How do I store my mat to prolong its life?

Accepted Answer

Wooden or cork blocks can be gently wiped down with a damp cloth.Straps are often machine washable, but read the care label or be careful of the metal buckles.For jewelry, store it in a dry pouch or drawer and wipe it with a soft cloth if needed.
