How to maintain the Kulae Elite yoga mat
The very purpose of the Elite yoga mat is to absorb the sweat and keep it non-slippery. But if you are not careful it can stink in no time. This is a washable mat, and wash is what it needs after a session. This is no rocket science but there are some specifications that you need to care about to keep this hot yoga mat clean and hygiene. There is not much work to do.
- Start with this rule of no roll – only fold. Yes, rolling can bring in all the dirt and germs into the mat. Not to mention the yucky bacteria and other germs. This is worse when you are doing yoga in public places or there are so many others around. The best way to do is to fold it first in half and then roll it for convenience.
- You need to wash it every time you use the mat especially if you are a sweaty person. While you wash, remember to set the cold cycle and use only mild detergent. The detergent is preferably an eco friendly to go with the yoga mat so that no harsh chemicals cause any damage to it.

A little sunshine will not hurt and it would also act as a natural sanitizer.

Kulae tpECOmat Ultra customer reviews
Henniet has the view that this tpECOmat Ultra is not a good bet for hot yoga as it loses its grip when gets wet. You would need an extra yoga towel spread over it for that purpose. The advantages of this according to her are that it has calming color options with a spongy feel on the mat. The reversibility of the mat is another plus point for a brand new look each day.
Jennifer who has bony knees needed cushion like yoga mat and she has met her match in this tpECOmat Ultra yoga mat. She feels good about the gripping and is yet to try hot yoga without a towel over the mat. So she is yet to make her view on the “slipping after getting wet” problem. She wishes to have this tpECOmat Ultra made as the same as the hot yoga towel mat with a towel layer over a mat with the same thickness as the tpECOmat Ultra.
