To Use: Lay the towel on top of the mat, under you hands (or feet). To enhance the slip-resistant qualities of the fabric, spray with water to dampen before each additional use.
To Wash: To avoid any color bleeding, Manduka recommends washing eQua® Towels with like colors twice before first use. Machine wash on cold with like colors. Hang to dry (recommended) or tumble dry on low setting. Deeper colors may require multiple, separate washings to remove excess dye. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Do not bleach. Do not use dryer sheets, fabric softeners or detergents with fabric softener, as they will make the surface of your eQua slick. Because some dye loss may continue beyond the initial separate washings, use caution when practicing on light colored mats or in light colored clothing.
