What makes Manduka Mat Care Solutions better than homemade solutions?Updated 2 years ago

To put it simply: ingredients and preparation. It’s true, our product, just like homemade solutions, is built on water and essential oil. But, as we all know, water and oil don’t mix – at least not without a lot of help. That’s why we add a bio-based fragrance solubilizer that not only helps our cosmetic level organic essential oil spread evenly through our purified water, but also ensures it stays there (versus separating and floating to the top). Then we thoroughly mix our three simple ingredients in an industrial mixer at 1700 rpm (a home stand mixer tops out at about 280 rpm). That ensures every spray from our bottle delivers the right balance of water and essential oil to your mat.

And what about Manduka’s Botanical Disinfecting Cleaner compared to household cleaners? This is an all-natural plant-based solution that deep cleans in one step. Other household cleansers are not plant-based, meaning they made of solvents or harsh chemicals that will degrade mats. Manduka’s Botanical Cleaner is specially formulated with Thymol and no harsh chemicals to not require rinsing after use and is proven to be non-irritating.
