How to Make Yoga Mat Spray?

Making your own yoga mat spray is easy and cost-effective! Here's a simple recipe:

Basic Yoga Mat Spray Recipe

This recipe focuses on a simple, effective cleaning solution.

Combine: In a clean spray bottle, mix the vinegar or witch hazel with the water. For example, you could use 1 cup of vinegar and 4 cups of water.
Add Essential Oils (Optional): If desired, add 2 to 4 drops of your favorite essential oil. Tea tree, lavender, eucalyptus, and peppermint are popular choices for their antibacterial and refreshing properties.
Shake Well: Shake the bottle thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
Spray: After each yoga session, lightly spray your mat with the solution.
Wipe: Wipe the mat down with a clean cloth or towel.
Dry: Allow the mat to air dry completely before rolling it up and storing it.

Vinegar/Witch Hazel: These act as natural disinfectants, helping to kill bacteria and remove sweat and grime. Witch hazel has a milder scent than vinegar.
Water: Dilutes the vinegar or witch hazel, making the spray less harsh on your mat and your skin.
Essential Oils: Provide a pleasant scent and can add additional antibacterial properties.

Test Patch: Before spraying your entire mat, test a small, inconspicuous area to ensure the spray doesn't discolor or damage the material.
Storage: Store the spray in a cool, dark place.
Frequency: Use the spray after each yoga session to keep your mat clean and fresh.
Mat Material: Certain yoga mat materials might react differently to certain sprays. Consider researching your specific mat material for optimal cleaning.
