Recipes for yoga mat cleaners

Hi guys,
My current yoga mat cleaner is almost running out so I was looking to make some more.
I've been using 1 part witch hazel to 3 parts water. It works fine but maybe someone else has other recipes?

It should be safe for daily use, preferably natural and nothing crazy expensive

(felt like this fit best in the kitchen forum but obviously not safe to eat )

Honestly... I'm just using water with a microfibre cloth If needed, I shower the mat in the bathtub. I've never understood the need for a dedicated yoga mat cleaner, I'm curious what it does better?

The witch hazel is slightly antibacterial, but you're right it doesnt make a huge difference

I have one old but trusted mat that can be machine-washed, so that is what I do, 3-4 times a year it goes into the washing machine with detergent and antibacterial softener-kind of liquid.
The second mat that is much bigger and can´t be machine-washed is used only for non-sweating exercise (yoga, stretching) and I wipe it down as needed with baby wipes (they contain water, some very mild anti-bacterial stuff and no fragrance or oil).
