Storage: Do not overexpose your B MAT to sunlight or heat. Even indirect sunlight may cause discoloration of the natural rubber material. It is best to keep your B MAT protected from light in a mat bag. If you are not going to use your B MAT for a long period of time, occasionally unroll it and wipe it down with a damp cloth to prevent the natural rubber from drying out. 

If the mat has become damp from sweat or water, always allow it to dry completely before rolling it up.

Use: The B MAT is made of natural, biodegradable natural rubber and a small amount of synthetic rubber. It is made without toxic glues, blowing agents or odour binders, which means the natural odour of the rubber material can be a little strong at first. However, it will fade away with time. For more on the natural rubber smell and tips on how to get rid of it faster, see our help pages.

B MATs may attract dust especially in the beginning.

We do not recommend B MATs if you have a latex allergy.

Cleaning: Regularly wipe your B MAT with a damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly. For a deeper clean: Spray the B MAT with B Yoga's The Cleanser mat spray, let it work for a few minutes and wipe it off with a damp cloth. Then allow the mat to dry thoroughly, preferably hung over a plastic clothes horse or the back of a chair (do not hang over metal or wood!). 

Please do not machine wash your B MAT!

General information: The B MAT is made of biodegradable natural rubber. This characteristic brings with it a natural wear and tear over the course of use. The lifespan of the B MAT depends on how intensively you use and care for your mat. Abrasion due to usage is unavoidable after some time, as the roughened surface is literally "grinded" by abrasive movements (e.g. of the heels) - an effect similar to sandpaper. Since abrasion is an effect caused by external mechanical impact, the manufacturer's warranty does not apply here.
