Tips for Use

Before initial use: 

-Clean your mat with dish soap and water (rinse with water) or rubbing alcohol allowing the mat to completely dry prior to placing your Cork Helping Hands for proper adherence. 

-Finding the right placement: Lay face down on your mat and push your upper body into cobra as you normally would in practice. Take note of where your hands are placed on the mat. That is where you are going to want to stick your Cork Helping Hands on your mat. 

-Once placing your Cork Helping Hands, apply pressure to the product by getting a practice in or performing a couple of Sun Salutations to help solidify the adherence to the mat. 

Before Routine Use:

-Keep your Cork Helping Hands fresh. Make sure you don't have any oils or lotions on your hands and arms prior to use as they can decrease the natural tackiness of the cork and shorten the functional life span of the product. Therefore, wash your hands and arms with soap and water prior to each use.

After Routine Use:

-Wipe away excess liquids/sweat by blotting or dabbing with a dry absorbent towel following practice.

-When rolling your mat, make sure the Cork Helping Hands end up on the exposed end of the roll to allow the cork to airdry without risking mildew or mold.
