Lavender Oil (Lavandula angustifolia) - calms, soothes, nurtures, encourages balance
Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) – uplifts the spirit
Yoga mat cleaner sprays prevent bacteria from spreading in the porous surface of the mat. That's why it's important to clean your mat after every session. It's also important to use cleaners that are all natural and safe for your skin—your skin comes into a lot of contact with that yoga mat.
I suggest making this blend fresh every few weeks as it is a water based product.
Here are some additional oil ideas for making your own yoga mat cleaner:
Orange (Citrus sinensis) — uplift your spirit and open your heart
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis ct. camphor) — focus and calm your mind
Cardamom (Ellettaria cardamomum) — encourage balance and open breathing
Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) — support meditation and open your breath
Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) — invite peace in place of worry
Cleaning your mat with your own spray can leave a hint of your favourite scent lingering on your mat, which you'll smell the next time you unroll it! (What a nice way to begin a yoga session!)
