A responsible yoga mat
It goes without saying that this yoga mat is made of natural materials. The mat is therefore animal-friendly. In fact, the merino wool comes from sheep that are sheared in the spring. The sheep's fleece is then at its thickest and at full strength. The wool is then washed, combed and woven with sturdy polyester to create a long mat. This yoga mat is made entirely of OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 materials. The mat has therefore been extensively tested for the presence of toxic substances and has been declared free of them.

Not only the planet and yourself should benefit from the production and use of this mat. The way in which the materials are obtained must also be socially responsible. That is why the wool is bought at a fair price from farmers in Italy and Poland.

Maintenance
Sheep's wool has a self-cleaning capacity. Regular cleaning of the mat is therefore not necessary. During intense sessions, the wool absorbs the perspiration moisture and then releases it into the room air, you do not have to worry about dirt on the mat for a moment, as the wool also has a self-cleaning function in this. If there is a stain on the mat, you can always try to clean it with a clean cloth with some water and the wool.

Take the yoga mat outside every now and then and shake it carefully to remove the accumulated dust and dirt. Then leave the shorn wool mat outside to get rid of all odours. Thanks to its self-cleaning properties, wool releases odours and perspiration moisture into the air. Try to choose a day and place where the mat is not in direct sunlight.

Are you planning to wash the mat? Then follow the washing instructions below.

Washing merino wool
You can wash merino wool in both the washing machine and by hand. This requires special treatment, which we explain below. Follow these instructions to prevent your product from being damaged during washing.

When washing in the washing machine, only use the wool wash program at a maximum of 30 degrees.
