7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common questions and minor issues you might encounter with your gymnastics mat.

7.1 Mat Appears Uneven After Unfolding

• Solution: Ensure the mat is placed on a completely flat surface. Over time, the EPE foam will settle. If recently unpacked, allow some time for the foam to fully expand and flatten.

7.2 Difficulty Cleaning Stains

• Solution: For stubborn stains, remove the zippered cover and hand wash it with a mild detergent. Air dry completely before reattaching. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to prevent damage to the PU leather.

7.3 Mat Slipping During Use

• Solution: Ensure the mat is placed on a dry, non-slippery surface. For very smooth floors, consider placing an anti-slip mat underneath.
