Sustainability is closely attached to longevity. When rationalising longevity, the importance of proper care and cleaning is more than apparent. In this article we would like to help you to care better for your pepe&wolf items.
LIGHT STAINS SUEDE MATS.
Our microfibre suede mats are antibacterial, so there is no need to clean them too often. If you have a feeling that you need to freshen up your mat after several sweaty workouts, we recommend a natural cleaner like our pepe&wolf Yoga mat spray or similar.
HEAVY STAINS SUEDE MATS.
When some heavy stains occur, your suede mat needs a bit more drastic cleaning session. Whether it is your kid's breakfast, dirty feet after an outdoor workout, or an abstract painting by your little ones, the suede mats can be cleaned with a gentle run in an ordinary washing machine. Take into account, that this method is quite harsh on the rubber, so do not use it too often. Please consider the following important settings before washing it in the machine:
- 20 minutes
- 30 degrees
- max. 400-800 revolutions
- add a towel or piece of clothing to the washing machine, so your mat is not too heavily crumpled
- gentle washing liquid
- no softener
- let it dry out for a min. 24 hours
The rubber side of the mat tends to get very wet and needs to dry through on a dry, warm and shady (avoid direct sunlight) spot. Check whether the mat is dry enough before rolling it back together.
LIGHT AND HEAVY STAINS STUDIO MATS.
Our PU mats are thicker and sturdier and the surface of the mats is rather closed. This means that you can easily clean it with water, our pepe&wolf Yoga spray as well with some water + vinegar solution. The PU mats can not be put in the washing machine because it would destroy the thick and sturdy surface.
