How to Clean an Exercise or Yoga Floor Mat

Quick answer: Wipe a closed-cell EVA mat with a damp cloth and mild soap after sweaty sessions, then dry. Because the surface is non-porous, sweat and oils sit on top instead of soaking in, so cleaning is fast and there is no lingering smell.

After every session

A quick wipe stops sweat and oils building up; mild soap handles the rest weekly.

No soak-in odours

Non-porous EVA does not harbour the smells that open-cell foam can develop over time.
