Care

Before initial use, we recommend wiping your CORE & CORE Lite using a cloth or a non-scratch sponge moistened with a few drops of organic washing-up liquid and water. This will remove possible film residue left by the manufacturer. Afterwards rinse with clear water, lay flat and dry completely.

Always roll your CORE & CORE Lite with the embossed top surface facing outwards. This prevents curling edges, ensuring that your mat will stay flat to the ground while you practice. When rolled up, the mat stands on its own for easy storage.

Thanks to the mat’s closed-cell structure, no deep cleaning is required. Instead, simply clean the top surface with a wet cloth and a mild organic detergent or sanitizing spray if necessary. Rinse with clear water, lay flat and dry completely. The mat can be left to dry in the sunshine.
Putting a CORE & CORE Lite mat in the washing machine is not recommended, as this will likely produce dents and creases.

When first out of packaging, the GECO & GECO Lite has a rubber smell that will dissipate with time and increased air exposure. Prior to initial use, we recommend leaving your mat to air out overnight in a well-ventilated, dry room.

Wash your hands with soap and water before using your GECO & GECO Lite mat. It is essential to remove natural oils or hand cream etcetera because this will cause slippage.

Latex rubber is sensitive to weather conditions. Long exposure to direct or indirect sunlight and high humidity causes it to oxidize. This process can lighten the color of the latex and create fine white deposits on its surface. To remove the fine white deposits please read the care instructions.

Practising yoga alternately on each side of the mat extends the lifespan of your GECO & GECO Lite mat.

To store, always roll your mat with the top surface with the logo facing outwards. The rolled mat should be stored in a yoga mat bag, away from direct sunlight, e.g. in a yoga mat bag. Minimizing sunlight exposure will extend the life of your GECO Series mat.

For a quick cleaning after every practice, simply wipe the surface of your mat with a moist cloth. Leave the mat flat on the floor to dry. On occasion for deeper cleaning, use a mild organic detergent or soap (no solvents, no harsh abrasives). Omit the logo area to prevent degradation. Wipe the surface clean with a cloth and fresh water. Leave the mat flat on the floor to fully dry. Alternatively, carefully rinse the surface in the tub or shower without soaking or submerging your mat.

To remove the fine white deposits, simply wash the latex surface with a soft cloth, some fresh water, a drop of organic soap, and a teaspoon of natural vinegar. Wipe the surface clean with a cloth and fresh water. Leave the mat flat on the floor to fully dry.

The mat can be folded or rolled up tightly for compact storage after practice.

The surface texture of your SPEZIAL/EXTRA mat improves with use. Still, we recommend machine-washing the mat with a small amount of mild organic detergent before initial use. This will remove possible film residue left by the manufacturer and enhance the grip. Select a gentle cycle at 30°C (40°C maximum). Do not spin dry. Do not tumble dry.

After washing, hang the mat up or lay it flat to dry. Optionally, to speed up the drying process, squeeze out excess water by rolling the mat up with a towel before leaving it to air-dry. Do not fold or use the mat before completely dry.
