My eKO® mat has become less grippy - is this normal?Updated 2 years ago
When the eKO® mat is starting to become less grippy, it is due to the rubber drying out. How fast the mat wears out depends on practice and environment. Since the rubber used for the eKO® mat is all natural and eco-friendly, it will break down and oxidize over time and with use, this happens with any natural rubber yoga mat on the market.
To prolong the lifespan of eKO® mats, we recommend using our Natural Rubber Yoga Mat Restore. It contains a vinegar based solution and the vinegar helps keeping the rubber moisturized and in a grippy condition.
