How do I clean and maintain an exercise mat?

Wipe down your mat after every workout with a damp cloth or a 50/50 water and white vinegar spray. Deep clean weekly by scrubbing with mild soap and water, then air drying flat never machine dry or expose to direct sunlight for extended periods, as heat degrades most mat materials. Store rolled (not folded) to prevent creases. A well maintained mat lasts 2 5 years depending on material and usage intensity.
