Description
The SPEZIAL can justifiably be called the “mother of all modern yoga mats”. Since its invention in 1988, this lightweight and surprisingly sturdy mat has been a firm favorite amongst practitioners worldwide.
Use & Care
To store:
The mat can be folded or rolled up tightly for compact storage after practice.
To break in:
The surface texture of your Spezial 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.
To clean:
For a quick cleaning after every practice, clean the mat with a wet cloth and a mild organic detergent or sanitizing spray. For deep cleaning, machine-wash the mat with a small amount of mild organic detergent. Select a gentle cycle at 30°C (40°C maximum). Do not use spin cycle. Do not tumble dry.
