Here is a fun and easy DIY-project – a fitness mat spray for cleaning up after a sweaty workout. My local yoga studio sells their own homemade version, but for $35 a bottle, I knew I could make it for a fraction of that!
All you need is a few simple ingredients, and an empty spray bottle. I sourced mine from a local refill shop, but you can often find them at health food stores, online, or simply recycle one you already have after you’ve used up the product inside.
If you’re looking for high-quality essential oils, I recommend Living Libations. You can use this link to automatically receive 15% off your purchase.
Using this spray after every workout will ensure your mat is clean, disinfected, and smelling great! I hope you enjoy making this for yourself, and your family and friends – it’s a great gift!
