A significant amount of perspiration or humidity can lead to a decrease in the adhesion of the carpet, its structure does not absorb liquids. To reinforce its non-slip qualities, you must place fine salt on the carpet over the entire surface, and rub the carpet with your hand in a counterclockwise direction. Let the salt sit on the carpet overnight and the next morning clean your carpet with a small terry towel.
The more you use your carpet, the more non-slip it will become! To speed up this process, you can also place the carpet somewhere in your home for a week to walk on it, with bare feet.
After 12 years of involvement in the production of yoga mats with other natural materials like rubber, PVC is still our first choice. The reasons are many:
1. The energy required to produce a mat is a major factor in determining how beneficial a product is for the environment.
- PVC production is economical in energy consumption.
- Our PVC mats are tried and tested to be durable when handled properly - much more so than TPE and rubber mats under the same circumstances. The longer the life of a mat, the less of a burden it is on nature.
2. The emissions of harmful substances during production are very low compared to most other materials, including those of natural origin.
3. PVC is not toxic at all. We monitor in our factory and subject our yoga mats to independent testing. Our products are certified Öko Tex Standard 100 Level 1 tested, the highest level, guaranteeing safe use of our products.
4. Natural rubber disintegrates very quickly under the sun and exposure to oxygen, and as in any other industrial product the addition of chemicals is necessary to make it more or less durable.
5. PVC does not cause allergies unlike rubber.
6. The environmental issue regarding rubber is far from being resolved. The increased demand for rubber is causing an acceleration of deforestation of primary rainforests, as rubber trees only grow in the tropics.
Logging for industrial crops such as rubber destroys the tropical biosphere and the living environment for many animal and plant species, which is unacceptable. The diverse vegetation in areas such as Kerala / South India and South East Asia is being replaced by monoculture rubber. Very few plants are able to survive in the shade of rubber trees. South India for example, is already experiencing a severe shortage of Ayurvedic herbs due to this.
