DIY Yoga Mat Spray Cleaner: Easy, Affordable & Naturally Scented

I found this link for a DIY yoga mat spray cleaner several years ago and it's been a staple ever since. I thought I'd link it here for anyone who uses a mat...for any type of workout. It's simple and requires only a few ingredients; most of which you can find at a grocery store or certainly Amazon.

DIY Yoga Mat Spray Ingredients

I have 2 caveats to this recipe. First, it says to use a funnel. Honestly, I put everything into a measuring cup. The spout does the rest. Second, if you want your spray to truly smell like whichever essential oil you're adding, you have to add many drops. Like closer to 8-10 drops.

Once you have the ingredients, you have a MUCH less expensive way to make your yoga mat spray. This stuff can get ridiculously expensive and is so not worth it. Especially when you can make your own with a scent that you love.

I went to a yoga retreat several years ago and this Grapefruit essential oil scented yoga mat spray was the hot request.

Enjoy making your own new favorite!
