We are asked this question quite regularly in our Townsville shop. Probably so regularly we really should make a ready to go product. The absolute best combination of essential oils to use for cleaning a yoga mat, in my opinion, is our Four Thieves essential oil blend. It is a combination of clove bud, lemon, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus and rosemary essential oils. It is such an effective anti-bacterial & anti-fungal blend.
Here is a recipe to make a yoga mat spray for use in your home or at the studio:
In a 200ml bottle
- Add 60 drops of four thieves essential oil blend
- Add an equal amount of essential oil solubuliser
- Swish well to combine the ingredients
- Add 50ml of warm water (around 70oC)
- Put the cap on and mix well
- Add 50ml of perfume base
- Put the cap on and mix well
- Fill the bottle up with fresh water, cap and shake again
- Label your spray
