You don’t have to “live off the grid” to make your own cleaning products (or beauty products for that matter). City, suburbanites and country yogis alike can easily whip up a do-it-yourself yoga mat cleaner. The best part: it’s fun to create homemade cleaners, and once you find or create a recipe you love, you’ll no longer have to pony up 5 bucks or more for a small 2 oz bottle of brand name yoga mat cleaner.
So you can hang out in Utthita Parsvakonasana a bit longer, we’ve saved you time and combed the web to compile links to mat cleaner recipes and tutorials that look promising.
- From Free People Bldg 25: A photo rich tutorial for DIY Mat Cleaning Spray. Heads up, you’ll want a spray bottle and your favorite smelling essential oils (found at a health food store).
- Apartment Therapy: Features two recipes for making your own mat cleaner, including an anti-fungal solution.
- Greenbacks Girl: Highlights a tea tree and witch hazel based cleaner, mixed with essential oils. The blogger warns that it smells so yummy that your yoga pals will want some spray too.
Hiya, I’m always creating homemade cleaning products for domestic use, but I have two yoga mats in need of a good clean! Thanks so much for the links! I’ll be bookmarking this for the future, I can’t wait to get creating.
