F.A.Q.
-How long will my mat last? How durable is the material and the artwork?
We have noted cases where our mat was used 2-3x's/day 6-7 days a week for intense vinyasa/ashtanga and lasted 1 year. We have noted moderate use 2-4 x's a week lasting up to 5 years or more. How you care for your mat, how often and how intense your practice will determine its longevity.
The image will wear along with the material over time. As the ink and designs are embedded in the cork, they will wear with the material. Please see our policy section here for more information.
-What kind of Paint do you use?
Due to the competitive nature of the industry, this is a trade secret. We use a pigment based product and sealer that are non toxic.
-Can I order a custom designed yoga mat?
Yes! We will work with you to develop your vision and create a design that you love. All of our custom mats are hand painted.
How it works:
If you have an idea, we will interview you to get a sense of what you are looking for. If you do not have an idea of what you want, we will speak with you and help you to develop your vision.
We will create sketches for your approval followed by a color mock-up for final approval before we start the full size painting. We ask that initial sketch be edited and colors be selected before moving on to the color sketch. Any color changes can then be made upon request.
Final product is created.
The whole process takes 2-4 weeks depending on our current load and the revision/editing process.
-What is your return policy?
-How do I clean my mat?
Use water or a 1:4 water/vinegar solution. You may add small amounts of Essential oils if desired for cork mats only (note Essential Oils may make mats slightly slippery).
NEVER use abrasive, sudsing, or bleaching agents or cleaners on any of our products, as they are natural materials they will experience damage and degradation.
When cleaning PRO MATS: Use only a soft cloth dampened with water. Periodically clean with 4:1 Water/Vinegar Solution on dampened cloth. Do not over clean or use too much vinegar. Surface can become damaged and experience premature degradation. To keep your mat in optimal performance, please follow these guidelines.
You may use a small amount of castile soap (2 drops/1 cup of water) on a dampened cloth, wiping in 1 direction. Allow to airdry (not in the sun) before rolling.
Mats should be rolled face out.
