Oko mats can last a lifetime with proper care. Follow washing instructions below and stay away from chemical detergents and sunlight to keep the integrity of your mat strong.

Wash Frequency: Our mats are naturally antibacterial and antifungal so you only need to wash 1x a month or less depending on your practice.

Hand wash: Place in a tub of water and lather using 4-6 soap nuts in a cotton pouch or use any natural detergent. Hand rinse or place in a washing machine on rinse cycle.

Machine wash: Use cold water on gentle cycle and 4-6 soap nuts in a cotton pouch or use any natural detergent. Soap nuts can be reused for 4-6 loads.

Hang dry: Hang in the shade. Do not roll the mat when wet.

In between washes: Wipe the mat down with a damp cloth, then hang to dry.

Reduce sun exposure: You can use the mat outdoors but keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to reduce any color lightening.
