How about maintenance and sanitation?
Bamboo mats are generally low maintenance. After every use, simply shake off the water and let the mat air dry in a cool corner. Never leave your mat over a heated floor, or near a radiator as these conditions could make the bamboo swell.
Once a week, you can use a mild cleanser and a soft brush for a thorough cleaning. The mat might accumulate grime and gunk over time. When you notice this, clean the mat using a soft bristle brush, towel dry then apply some linseed oil. Let the mat absorb the oil before using it again.
