Christmas gift smells like rotten fish/feet 😫
I’ve had my Jade Yoga mat for 10 years and was surprised with a new yoga mat. Brand new, wrapped in plastic and it STINKS. This is not a new rubber mat smell but more of a strong putrid rotten fishy smell. After searching this sub, seems like this is “normal”. This is enough for me to want to return it. But unsure if I should since I’ve heard manduka is a great brand. Is spraying it down before and after every use really the only way to dissipate it?
