Cork blocks can need different care from foam blocks. Manduka's cork-block product page recommends a damp cloth and mild soap, complete air-drying, and cool dry storage. Follow another brand's own instructions if you use a different block.

Confirm that the block is cork rather than foam, then gently remove loose dust and crumbs with a clean dry cloth.
For light soil, wipe the faces and edges with a slightly damp soft cloth.
If dirt remains, use a small amount of mild soap as recommended by Manduka and wipe away the residue with a second damp cloth.
Do not immerse the block or leave it waterlogged. Excess water may cause cork to swell or change texture.
Let the block air-dry completely in a ventilated shaded area. Avoid forced heat from a dryer or heater.
When fully dry, store flat or neatly stacked in a cool dry place away from strong sun and humidity. Check any cracking or crumbling before your next session.
