ASUTRA Yoga Mat Cleaner Spray Refill (Peaceful Lavender), 16 fl oz - Organic Essential Oils, No Slippery Residue, Deep-Cleansing for Fitness Gear & Gym Equipment

I will never use another product again. Thank you, Asutra! You've outdone yourself!***EDIT (9/17/16***I recently did a lab for my BIO 111 (Microbes in Modern Society) class. It entailed that I take 15 samples from my environment and swab them onto agar plates. One of the samples I chose was my yoga mat. I have been using this cleaner exclusively and wanted to see how well it really worked. Even though I chose to take the sample after a workout, from a "dirty" mat, the results showed that Asutra works long after the initial cleaning. After 3 days, the petri dish showed little to no change. Nothing grew in it.This yoga mat cleaner WORKS!

I had been using Manduka's mat wash, but the idea of using something more natural appealed to me. I purchased the 6 bottle deal because it was the best value, and I wanted to try a few scents. Although not all of the scents deserve a 5 star rating (in my opinion), their cleaning ability, natural ingredients, and the included microfiber towel make up for a couple of misses in the fragrances.Obviously, the appeal of a scent is very subjective, but this is what worked for me and what did not.5 Stars: Soothing Sweet RoseI normally hate floral scents. In fact perfume gives me migraines. This has none of the typical cloying smells that are generally found in floral-scented products. The rose smells like what you would find in a garden, not on a store shelf. The scent is not overpowering, but it is strong enough to be enjoyed while using the mat. This quickly became my favorite out of all of the bottles, and I wish I could buy just this scent in a 6 pack.5 Stars: Energizing PeppermintThis is a close second to the rose scent. It is refreshing but not overwhelming; in fact, the scent is fairly faint, even while being applied. It is just enough to notice during savasana.4 Stars: Uplifting EucalyptusI HATED this scent when I first tried it. My first thought was that I had just coated my mat with the equivalent of Vicks VapoRub. I was wondering how to get the stench off of the mat before I began my practice, and the only positive I could come up with was that it might be nice if I used it when I had a cold. Surprisingly, once it dried, the scent was really pleasant. The medicine smell dissipated, and what was left was enjoyable even through extended Child's Pose.1 Star: Calming CitrusThis was one of the scents that I expected to like the most, and the scent literally made me feel nauseous. It smelled like I had doused my mat in 409. Despite the natural ingredients (and yes, I double checked that nothing artificial had been slipped into this bottle), it was overpowering and artificial smelling. I think this could be salvaged with the addition of a ginger scent, but as it is, it is unbearable.I didn't try the lavender since I purchased that for my daughter, but it seems like enough other reviews have covered that anyway. I haven't tried the unscented either since I enjoy the other scents too much to take a break from them for now.

I used this product to clean my yoga mat for the first time and OH MY. I am pretty grossed out with how many times I had my face on my yoga mat without cleaning it between uses. The bottle has directions for "Clean in Minutes," and "Deeper Cleaning," and I went with the "deeper cleaning," which states to liberally spray surface of mat and let stand for 2 minutes, then scrub down with a damp clean cloth. As you can see in the picture, I decided to use my own white towel to clean it because it would be easier to see how much dirt was lifted off, compared to the blue cloth that comes with the purchase. And WOWZERS, I was so unaware of how much dirt was on my yoga mat. I will definitely be using this spray in between each use!I was also pleased with the lavender scent on the yoga mat because it was faint enough that it isn't overpowering. The only complaint I have is the blue cloth it comes with. It feels like a good material, but it was sort of hard to use for the "scrubbing" portion of the "deeper cleaning." The directions say to use a clean (not damp) cloth to wipe after scrubbing with a damp cloth, so I used the blue cloth for that instead.

Background:Bought a very expensive yoga mat and wanted to care for it well.Pros:- I'm not a scent person at all (generally try to get everything with no fragrance), but after reading all the reviews I decided to give the lavender scent a shot. It was worth it! The scent is definitely not overpowering at all, and especially since you are wiping it on the mat, the smell kind of fades off and becomes more mellow. It's such a great surprise the next yoga practice to come back to the mat and realize it's giving off a faint lavender scent. Very relaxing!- It reconditions your mat's texture. My yoga mat is brand new so it is quite slippery since it hasn't been used much. Somehow after using this spray, it made the mat more grip-y, but not sticky in the slightest. I'm not sure how, but this is the biggest thing I was hoping for out of this spray and it delivered.Cons:- Not much

I cleaned my Gaiam mat with the lavender and the first thing I noticed was how strong the fragrance is. Cleaning wise it did okay but my mat was still dirty. The next day the fragrance on my mat is overwhelming and my mat is slippery from the residue of this cleaner. I try washing it with soap and water and rinsing it with water three times and my mat is still slippery and the fragrance is strong as ever. I might be able to live with the strong smell but I have to get a new mat cause it is so slippery I can't use it for pilates. I sent back this product and they gave me a full $10.95 refund

UPDATE: Was delighted today to unexpectedly receive the unscented version of the product. Great company to do business with. Have cleaned my mat and am completely satisfied with the produce.While the description mentions lavender scent, I didn't expect it to be as strong as it is. Also the smell has lingered long after I cleaned my mat. If it continues, I'll have to clean it again with something else before I can use the mat again. I can't be the only person very sensitive to odors. How about an unscented version?As far as whether it actually cleaned the mat, I saw no signs of dirt on the cloth so I can only assume it did.

Nice smell, can recommend

Good quality natural smell
