1. **Cleaning:** Clean the beads whenever they appear dirty or at least once every two months. Soak them in lukewarm water for 30–60 minutes.  
2. **Brushing:** Use a new, soft toothbrush to gently remove any deposits or dirt from the beads. Avoid using chemical soaps or detergents.  
3. **Drying:** Let the beads dry completely for one day after cleaning.  
4. **Oiling:** Apply a thin layer of oil (like olive oil, coconut oil, or sandalwood oil) using a soft brush to maintain moisture and prevent cracks.  
5. **Storage:** Keep the mala in a clean, dry place, preferably in a cloth pouch, when not in use.

Following this routine can help maintain the beads’ integrity and longevity.
