sun_salutationMy mat has never been cleaned. Ever. It is starting to smell a little bit like feet. I guess that's what comes of six or so years of sweating.
Thoughts about how best to clean it? Do I need a special mat cleaner soap - to preserve stickiness or whatnot? Or do I just want one, because they smell better?
I have a cheap purple sticky-mat mat from Walmart.

Sun is optional in both scenarios but if you have it, use it.
