In a world that produces much more than it needs, we try to reduce waste whenever possible.  Our Almost Perfect eKO mats may have a few flaws… but they still have a life to live!   

Still 100% performance focused, they’re just a little “cosmetically unique”. These mats have light color markings that look like scratches on them, as seen in the last photo.

Almost Perfect mats may differ in the following ways:

• May differ slightly in length, thickness and weight
• May have surface imperfections
• May have nicks on the bottom side
• May differ slightly in color/logo
• May have variations in cut, i.e. may be cut askew

Pro Tip: We recommend pairing the eKO Series with one of our eQua® hand towels or yogitoes® hand towels (read our Guide to Yoga Towels) to absorb moisture. During a more warm/sweaty practice we recommend pairing the eKO Series with one of our yogitoes® mat towels or eQua® mat towels.

Without soaking or submerging, spray a generous amount of Manduka’s Natural Rubber Yoga Mat Restore over the entire surface of your mat, paying close attention to any areas of decolorization. Allow the cleaner to sit for 5 minutes and then gently use a clean cloth to wipe mat dry before rolling or using.

We do not recommend cleaning your mat with a garden hose, vacuuming it, or placing it in a bathtub, shower, or washing machine—doing so may damage your eKO mat beyond repair. Do not leave the mat exposed to excessive amounts of sunlight as it will cause mat to oxidize and fade. Do not use any type of soap for cleaning, as it will compromise the performance and integrity of the mat. Do not use the salt method to break in or clean eKO mats.
