To ensure your Pianella's PU Pilates Mat remains in pristine condition and continues to provide exceptional performance, follow these care instructions:
Storage Regular Cleaning
1. Daily Wipe Down:
- After each use, wipe the mat with a damp cloth to remove sweat and debris.
- Use a gentle, non-abrasive cloth to avoid damaging the surface.
2. Weekly Deep Clean:
- Prepare a cleaning solution of warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap.
- Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the solution and gently scrub the mat.
- Rinse the mat with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
3. Stubborn Stains:
- For more stubborn stains, use a mixture of water and white vinegar in equal parts.
- Apply the solution to the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping clean with a damp cloth.
Drying and Storage
1. Air Dry:
- Always air dry your mat after cleaning. Lay it flat or hang it to dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and damage.
- Ensure the mat is completely dry before rolling it up to avoid mold and mildew growth.
2. Proper Storage:
- Store your Pianella's mat rolled up with the PU surface facing outwards.
- Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from sharp objects and heavy items that could deform or damage the mat.
- Avoid exposing the mat to extreme temperatures or prolonged sunlight.
Additional Tips
1. Avoid Oils and Lotions:- Keep your mat free from oils, lotions, and other substances that can degrade the PU surface. Ensure your hands and feet are clean and dry before practice.
2. No Harsh Chemicals:
- Do not use harsh chemicals, alcohol-based cleaners, or abrasive scrubbers on your mat, as they can damage the surface and compromise its non-slip properties.
3. Mat Cover:
- Consider using a mat cover or towel during intense workouts to minimize direct contact with sweat and extend the mat's lifespan.
By following these care instructions, your Pianella's PU Pilates Mat will remain in excellent condition, providing you with a reliable and luxurious foundation for your practice.
