• Due to their biodegradable nature, the eKO Series is not recommended for daily intensive practice.
• Using the eKO Series in a warm environment requires regular maintenance to maintain the performance of the rubber.
• Natural rubber offers a semi-sticky grip, but since it does not absorb sweat, Manduka always recommends combining your practice with their eQua® towels to absorb moisture and increase grip, or improve your grip with their Yoga Grip Gel.

• No PVC.
• No harmful plasticizers.

Use & Maintenance

• Keep your eKO yoga mat fresh and clean smelling by wiping it down after each practice with Manduka's Mat Wash & Refresh.
  
  Maintain the performance of your eKO yoga mat by applying Manduka's Natural Rubber Yoga Mat Restore once a month. Let the cleaner sit for 5 minutes and use a clean cloth to gently wipe the mat dry before rolling it up or using it.
  
  
• Always ensure the yoga mat and floor are completely dry before placing the mat on the floor. A wet mat or wet floor can cause color transfer and stains on the floor.
  
  
• Do not expose the mat to direct sunlight. If wet, let the mat dry before rolling it up. Store your eKO yoga mat rolled up and in a bag or cover for best performance when not in use, as prolonged exposure to air and sun can damage the rubber on the mat.
  
  
• The eKO® yoga mats cannot be machine washed, this will damage the mat and accelerate the breakdown of the rubber mat.
  
  
• Do not soak or submerge in water.
  
  
• Do not use the salt method on the eKO® yoga mats.
  
  
• Using the eKO® yoga mats in a warm environment can dry out the rubber and thus reduce performance and flexibility of the material.

Green Mission

The new eKO® is a natural yoga mat made from sustainably harvested tree rubber and contains over 30% recycled rubber. Unlike other rubber mats available today, the foaming agents used to create the eKO yoga mat are non-toxic. This means that no toxic chemicals have entered the manufacturing process to soften the rubber. Additionally, Manduka has chosen to use a blend of polyester and natural cotton instead of synthetic polyester as reinforcement.
