Hang to dry in the sunshine. Do not put your mat in the washing machine- it may break the machine and ruin your mat.To Store:Roll your Black Mat PRO with the top side (fabric-finish) facing outwards. This keeps the corners of the mat flat when practicing.To Break In:The surface texture of the Black Mat PRO improves with use.
