To clean most gemstone, wood and seed mala beads, put a few drops of
mild dishwashing liquid in a bowl of room temperature water and soak for up to
5 minutes*. Keep the mala’s tassel out of the water if possible.
*This method is recommended for most types of
gemstones, but some stones require special care. Do not soak Azurite, Selenite,
Lapis lazuli, Opal, Turquoise, amber, emerald, chrysocolla, pearl, and
Malachite beads. Instead, wipe with a slightly damp soft cloth and immediately
dry them.
