When's the last time you cleaned your yoga mat [1]? It's OK if you can't remember because neither can I. I really didn't put much thought into wiping down my yoga mat after a virtual session [2] or stretching since I'm the only person who uses it and I'm using it in the comfort of my home.
But the other day, I had a moment and thought to myself that I should probably clean my mat but I had no idea what to use. Disinfecting wipes are a rare commodity right now but fortunately, I happened to watch Serena and Venus Williams's workout [3], and what did they discuss? Their favourite yoga mat cleaner. I instantly looked up the brand, and I've officially been influenced to purchase it.
Serena said she likes the Asutra Natural and Organic Yoga Mat Cleanser [4] ($13) so much, she often steals it from Venus. The Asutra cleanser comes in unscented, citrus, peppermint, lavender, lemongrass, eucalyptus, and rose scents — there's something for everyone — and you also get a microfibre towel with each bottle. Plus, it's made from all-natural, nontoxic, eco-friendly ingredients. I feel like I shouldn't be this excited about a product to clean my yoga mat, but I am and I can't wait to try it out!
