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. 

  1. 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. 
  2. 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. 
  3. Do not go for the cheaper detergent, get quality ones to maintain this precious (yes, it is costly in comparison) yoga mat. 
  4. While you dry, it is better to choose the hang dry option than the dryer. It is not that it cannot be used in the dryer, but the dryer can be a bit harsh on the mat. Hang dry is natural and does not wrinkle it too much. Just lay it flat on the surface or hang it whichever is possible for you. 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. 

How to choose the perfect yoga mat?

Yoga mats are many kinds, as you just saw. It takes a few factors that help you decide which type you need to fulfill your demands. The major factors to consider while purchasing yoga mats are its thickness, material, and type of yoga practiced. 

  • The thickness of yoga mat has nothing to do with yoga practice but only on your comfort. If you are ok with the feel of floor under your knees a yoga mat that is thin is also fine with you. If you prefer comfort more than anything then the ideal choice would be the thicker mats such as Kulae tpECOmat Ultra. People with knee problems should also choose the thicker mat. 
  • Material of the mat has importance when you have any allergies towards latex or is chemical sensitive. In this case choose only bio-degradable mats. If you are environment conscious, choose the eco-friendly mats. 
  • Style of yoga is the last but most important aspect on choosing yoga mats. Not all mats can withstand the wetness and still provide good grip so choose wise otherwise you might injure yourself. 
    • For Hatha yoga and all normal kind of yoga, you can choose the tpECOmat Plus with its medium thickness. It is neither thin nor thick. 
    • Restorative yoga needs cushion effect for prolonged yoga poses. In this case the ideal choice would be tpECOmat Ultra.
    • Hot yoga needs something to absorb the sweat and the only choice should be the Elite Hybrid yoga mat that has eco-friendly gripping mat under and a layer of yoga towel spread over the top.
