The Complete Yoga Mat Care Guide

Yoga Mat Care & Maintenance Guide

Your yoga mat is more than a practice surface—it’s your foundation, your support, and a reflection of your commitment to well-being. To ensure it lasts and continues to perform at its best, it’s important to understand both the materials it’s made from and the care it requires.

At Divine Goddess, we design mats with sustainability and performance in mind. Every mat is made without PVC, phthalates, harmful glues, or toxic chemicals—because your health and the planet’s health matter to us.

Materials We Use

Natural Tree Rubber

Harvested sustainably, natural rubber provides exceptional grip and cushioning. Biodegradable and eco-friendly, it’s ideal for yogis who value both performance and sustainability.

Polyurethane Top Layer (Luna Mats)

Our Luna Mats combine natural tree rubber with a PU top layer, delivering unmatched grip, stability, and compression. The smooth, non-slip surface absorbs sweat, making it perfect for hot yoga and high-intensity practices.

Microfibre Suede Top Layer (Eco Luxe Range)

Crafted from recycled plastic bottles, this luxurious surface enhances grip when wet—ideal for sweaty sessions. By re-using plastic waste, our Eco Luxe mats reduce environmental impact while offering premium comfort.

Cork Top Layer

Naturally antimicrobial and sustainably sourced, cork provides a firm yet comfortable surface. Harvested without harming cork oak trees, it’s a hygienic, eco-friendly option for lasting durability.

Every material we choose aligns with our commitment to eco-conscious design and enhances your yoga experience.

How Our Mats Are Made

• Non-Toxic Manufacturing – Always free from PVC, phthalates, harsh glues, and chemicals.
• In-House Design – Each mat is uniquely designed by our team, blending function with beauty.

Caring for Your Yoga Mat

Proper care keeps your mat fresh, hygienic, and supportive for years to come.

Cleaning

• Daily Wipe-Down: After each session, gently clean with a damp cloth and plain water. Avoid chemical cleaners.

• Deep Clean: Once a month (or as needed), use warm water for a more thorough refresh. Do not soak, especially cork mats.

• Drying: Always air-dry flat, away from direct sunlight, to protect the material.

Storage

• Make sure your mat is fully dry before rolling.

• Roll with the top side facing out to prevent curling.

• Store in a cool, dry space.

• Avoid leaving your mat in a hot car.

Extra Tips

• Minimise stains by avoiding heavy lotions or oils before practice.

• Small marks are reminders of your journey—we call them “love marks.”

• Regular cleaning and mindful storage extend your mat’s life.

A Practice in Care

By caring for your yoga mat, you’re not only preserving your practice companion but also honouring a shared commitment to sustainability and mindful living.
