Before placing your mat on the floor, clean and dry the area completely. Be sure to clean your tumbling mat before first use.
To clean your tumbling mat, use a sponge or cloth with mild soap and water and dry the mat completely before using or stowing away. The best way to keep your mat looking new is to clean it using only the products recommended below. We ask that you refrain from using abrasive cleaning solutions like window cleaner, floor cleaner, acetone or alcohol. Using such cleaners may cause permanent damage to the printed cover of the mat.
For smaller spills, wipe them up as they happen with a dry cloth. While most spills can wipe up easily with our cleaning instructions, cases of extreme dirt, paint spills and other heavily pigmented items (like kids paints, crayons or brightly colored food and drinks) may stain your mat and should be avoided. Please do not clean your mat with a power vacuum.
Here are a few cleaners we recommend!
- Dish soap & water, 1% solution (1/2 teaspoon per cup of water)
- Unscented castile soap & water, 15% solution (2.5 tablespoon per cup of water)
- White vinegar & water, 8% solution (1.5 tablespoons per cup of water)
- All-purpose cleaner, use in moderation
The water-resistant faux leather cover is designed to withstand all kinds of messes, but we do not recommend removing the foam insert as it can be difficult to replace. Please do not machine wash your tumbling mat or tumbling mat cover.
