This is because you won&#8217;t be picking up germs from the gym floor or from other people. However, it&#8217;s still recommended to regularly clean the mat&#8217;s surface. Many people prefer to clean it weekly. You can spot clean both sides with a few drops of soap mixed with warm water. There are also special cleaning solutions you can purchase. Spray the mat with the solution, and wipe it off with a soft cloth. Then rinse your cloth out and wipe it down again to ensure you get all the soap off. When it&#8217;s clean, let it dry completely before you fold it up or use it again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it hard to balance on a workout mat? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Workout mats provide thickness underneath you. It&#8217;s another variable that your body will have to adapt to. Balancing on this soft surface will take more focus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What size workout mat should I get? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your workout mat isn&#8217;t long enough, you won&#8217;t be comfortable using it. You want to purchase a mat that&#8217;s at least six inches longer than you. That gives you a few inches on either end.
