Mat is brand new & is shredding, getting all over hands & body. How do I get rid of that and is that normal?

Sorry can not help, I would say something is wrong with the mat, I have only worked out on mine a dozen times but no issues other than the smell so far

No; That should not be happening. Not mat product. Maybe a materiel that it is made from. A rubber blend of anyway.Will not hold up. Ink is REDFLAG.

No. I don't think that is normal. I just received mine and I do not have the problem. Sorry.

I washed mine multiple times with dish soap and water and left it out in the sun, this eventually fixed the problem for my mat. Try supplier Tasha Maydonik <tashamaydonik@gmail.com> (contact 6 months old)Square36

Hi David, It can be cleaned with a mild cleaning agent (dish soap or something similar). Make sure that the cleaner doesn't contain bleach as this may discolor the mat. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any further questions. Hope you are enjoying the mat!! Have a wonderful day, Tasha Maydonik Square36

Hi Gottaluvlabs, Please not trim the mat. Doing this will expose the fiberglass core which would make it unusable. The only solution is to have overhang, unfortunately. We are currently looking at adding new sizes so you can keep an eye out for that. Happy baking! BrightSpring

Absolutely not which makes this mat so great! I have sweaty palms and my old mat had me sliding all over the place. A friend told me to try a yoga towel but it didn't work. You can spray a bit of water on the mat to give yourself more of a grip but I've found it unnecessary.

I am sorry I can not help u as I always use another sheet on top of it so if that happens all I have to do is take it off n wash it but u could always try vanish or a stronger cleaning detergent on the affected area I hope this helped in any way

My yoga mats are not expensive either, I think I paid between $8 and $15 for them. When mine started getting slippery I would just buy a new one but now I use the slip free rosin and it pretty much takes care of it. I'm a little weird about the chalky feeling but I wash my hands immediately after yoga and I'm fine. It is definitely worth it.

Either notify the seller and request a return and replacement item. Or, depending on how permanent the crease, you could possibly use a spray bottle and soak the crease, laying the mat flat on a towel to dry, or hand wash and lay it flat on towels to dry to see if that takes out the crease. Not knowing how creased the mat is, only you can decide whether it's a permanent thing or not, as well as do you want to deal with the hassel of trying to get it out. Good luck!

First of all. I bought a spare mat. So I can wash and dry one, while the other is in use. I put old newspapers in the tray to help absorb most of the moisture. Daily, hose the mat throughly first. then a little soap a little scrub and a second hose rinse. Finally, mist with chlorine based kitchen/bathroom cleaner. let it dry all night.I strongly advice to be sure theres are no traces of urine, before using the chlorine, as very harmful vapors may emanate if those two mixes.Keep in mind that we live in a small apartment, so the shower is the place for the mat cleaning.

RollingSandsHarmony supplies the mat for Amazon. The material appears to be a of synthetic foam structure. It is not natural rubber. My guess is that it would take years for it to degrade... In its favor, the mat is comfortable and cushions nicely. It is still slippery when I get sweated up. Hope this helps!

NOT AT ALL! It is great stuff! It has saved my knees and back for years. Only drawback, it wears out. The top ridges begin to "crumble" with heavy use and sweeping after about six months. Then, if it is worn out and you have it in the kitchen and spill something on it, the mat will absorb it like a sponge. I have a crazy active kitchen, though, so it might last you much longer. I just replace it when it is worn out. It is also easy to mop and cleans and dries well.

I have two mats - both still in new condition EXCEPT that both are raised up around all edges. I don't remember ever even having a warranty info. Has anyone contacted the company and heard back from them yet .

That is a problem I have never had. I would try pulling all the material out and turning it well and then putting it back. Leave it uncovered for a few days to dry out a bit.

Well, I use the Jade mat, which is extra sticky, so it's a bit harder than my last mat. I sit the mat on the floor, open it and peel the bag down. The bag has to be aaaaall the way open or forget it. Not exceptionally easy, but it's what I'm used to :) Hope this helps!

I'm guessing it's not. It smells like new plastic when first used, though the smell fades over time. I believe the smell is probably the mat killing me as I use it to become healthier - cruel irony!
