Rudraksha beads can be cleaned periodically after 1-2 months or when you feel they need to be cleaned. To do this, the beads should be dipped in warm water, after which they can be gently cleaned with a very soft fiber brush under a stream of clean water. Never use strong detergents or very boiling/hot water. After that, the ball should be placed on a soft absorbent cloth or tissue paper to dry. When the balls are dry, you can apply a small amount of olive oil to them, preferably with a soft brush.
