Washable Mats

Machine washable mats make it simple to keep your mat clean and hygienic, to help them remain effective and germ-free. Keep in mind that larger mats may not fit in a domestic washing machine and may need to be washed in a commercial laundry instead. Most washable mats can be cleaned the same way you clean a carpet, such as by using a carpet extraction cleaner.
