Yoga mats will need little care on a daily basis. If you get sweaty feet as I do you may want to wash them more often. A simple 1 part bleach to 10 parts water works well.

There's no hard and fast rule. A quick spritz of a water-vinegar mix and a wipe-down is all you need to do after a yoga session. If you do this every time, you won't need to do a full wash for probably about a year. But of course, any time you wonder if it's clean, you should wash it.

Yoga mats should be cleaned often to prevent the spread of germs. Time is always an issue, and most people just throw their mats back in their car after class. However, even a quick wipe down with a natural disinfectant such as witch hazel after your workout will keep mats fresh in between full weekly washings.

Once a week. Any more than that and it could start to fall apart, any less and it's just going to get disgusting.

The best saying is wash it atleast once everyday. It is good for a healthful and comfortable yoga next time. The mat should be washed throughly with soap water.
