How is the best way to clean this mat? I know some you can use a spray made with tea tree oil and some can even be put in a washing machine.

I find If I soak it the bath tub with warm water and dish soap it lets go of all the dirt easily and lines dry really fast.

You have a few choices that we recommend: 1. Disinfect your yoga mat with isopropyl alcohol. Pour some isopropyl alcohol into a small spray bottle and liberally spray your yoga mat. The alcohol will kill any germs on contact while eliminating sweaty odors. Let your yoga mat dry for a few hours before using it. 2. Soak your yoga mat in a apple cider vinegar solution. The high acidity of the vinegar will destroy the microorganisms accumulated from constant use. Add 2 cups apple cider vinegar to 4 gallons water in a tub. Wash with a sponge or soft cloth and rinse good. Let it air dry for 24 to 48 hours This will also make your yoga mat smell new and clean. Also in a small spray bottle add Spring water, Tea Tree Oil and lavender oil to spray after every practice. Tea tree oil has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties to effectively fight germs, while the scent of Lavender oil helps you relax and add a wonderful freshness to your mat. What fragrance of Lavender oil will be your choice. Please: DON'T USE SOAP!!!! Soap tends to soak into the mat. It will make it real slippery a with soapy residue after each practice! May take several soakings in the tub to get all the soap out!! The IronDog

I highly doubt it. Washer will be a little rough on the mat. I usually wash it by just rinsing it with dish detergent and sponge and then let it dry by itself. It dries quite quickly when I just air-dry it

I ordered the microfiber dish mat to use under mine. I got it in Amazon as well. Works well! And you can wash the dishmat in the washer.

They sell a special solution to wash it with, but I think you can use a mild detergent on it. Something like Dawn. I haven't had to wash mine yet, so I can't really make a recommendation.

I have machine washed it several times. The only thing was I had to go to the laundry mat to use one of those industrial sized machines, which was kind of a pain because it took SOOOOOOO many quarters! I've also dropped it off at the cleaners and them wash it. I've had the throw pillows dry cleaned once too. Everything comes out lovely!!!

I gave the mat as a gift to my niece's daughter and she claims to have washed it and dried it in the machine and it came out good as new. Hope this is helpful.

I use mat wipes on mine. I'm sure you can sponge it with soap and water. No washing machine!

its not a machine, its just a mat, and its not easily washable, just spray it with febreze if it gets nasty

I can't find any washing instructions on the mat. I don't know if there was any paperwork that came with it, but I don't have that anymore, sorry.

I've been using it for more than a year, and I soak it overnight in a diluted bleach solution (maybe 1:5 bleach:water) every month or two to kill the mildew. It works great, but the mat is starting to pull apart (it's seen hard use for that year + in our kitchen!), so I'm going to buy another.

I have never had to clean mine. But it looks like a damp cloth alone may work or a damp cloth with a mild soap might do the trick. It's made of a material that is suede-like, maybe a chamois.I hope that helps you.

I have used soft scrub with bleach directly on the mat with a brush. No problems.

I think I have put the mat in the dishwasher once and it was ok, but generally, I just use hot water and soap and let it air dry.

First of all. I bought a spare mat. So I can wash and dry one, while the other is in use. I put old newspapers in the tray to help absorb most of the moisture. Daily, hose the mat throughly first. then a little soap a little scrub and a second hose rinse. Finally, mist with chlorine based kitchen/bathroom cleaner. let it dry all night.I strongly advice to be sure theres are no traces of urine, before using the chlorine, as very harmful vapors may emanate if those two mixes.Keep in mind that we live in a small apartment, so the shower is the place for the mat cleaning.

I just put it in the washing machine and it washed fine for me. I washed it delicate and hung it up to dry I am always cautious when putting stuff like this in the washing machine. It is detachable for washing and once she grew out of the playmat we just used the mat as a fun blanket. I still have the mat and it held up great for us. Plan to use it for baby #2.

I'm sure you could use this on other mats, it's a very gentle cleanser. If you're unsure I would contact Jade and ask them.

You can turn it over after using so the underside will dry. Also you can use a bathroom spray with bleach in it to prevent mold. It is a very comfortable mat. I haven't washed mine, but I'd use a delicate or gentle or "hand wash" cycle.
