Your yoga mat is more than a cushioned surface: it’s an intimate space where you breathe, stretch, and sweat. Over time, it becomes a magnet for oils, dead skin cells, sweat, bacteria, and more. Studies show that yoga mats can collect sweat, fungi, and microbes that may cause skin irritation or infection if not cleaned regularly
Experts recommend wiping down your mat after every practice and giving it a deeper clean weekly (REI). Without regular care, grime can break down mat materials, shorten its lifespan, and leave it smelling less than fresh (Peloton).
Enter Eir NYC’s Mat Love Yoga Mat Spray — the all-natural, plant-powered way to keep your mat fresh, clean, and ready for your next warrior pose. It lifts away sweat and residue while keeping your mat fresh, safe, and grippy — without harsh chemicals. Just spritz, wipe, and flow.
Why it’s so fab:
Ethyl Alcohol: Kills most bacteria, fungi, and mold.
Witch Hazel: Known for its germ-fighting properties.
Tea Tree Oil: Offers natural antibacterial benefits.
Cedarwood Oil: Provides grounding and calming effects.
Clary Sage Oil: Helps achieve deep relaxation and calm.
Vetiver Oil: Known as the oil of tranquility, it soothes feelings of anxiety and stress.
When we set out to create Mat Love, we designed it to address exactly the needs your mat demands — without compromise.
Mat Love not only lifts away oils, sweat, and particles, but also leaves behind a clean, non-slippery surface. That helps your mat feel fresh and functional long after you’ve sprayed.
Your mat is an extension of you. You don’t want harsh chemicals off-gassing while you breathe in Child’s Pose. Mat Love uses botanical ingredients, biodegradable components, and avoids all chemicals.
Torture tested by our friends, Mat Love wins against the real-world mess: salt, sweat, oil, body care residues, and dust. Mat Love consistently removed residues and left the mat fresh and smelling clean.
Mat Love comes in a fine-mist spray, so you use just the right amount (not soaking your mat). The spray pattern ensures even coverage, reducing wasted product. Many “home remedies” oversaturate or under-dose.
Honestly, it’s as simple as spritz, wipe and go (or air dry), but you can also go for a deeper clean:
Mist evenly across top and bottom surfaces.
Use a microfiber cloth (ideally clean) to gently wipe in circular motions.
Let the mat air dry fully (30 minutes to a few hours, depending on humidity).
If needed apply a second light mist and repeat.
Your mat deserves some love. Give it Mat Love, and keep your practice as pure as your intentions.
