To get maximum benefits from an 18 mukhi rudraksh and increase its life span, the rudraksh has to be cleaned once every 1-2 months. The person should take some measures to keep the rudraksh pure, clean, and neat.
Use a new, clean, and soft-bristled brush to clean the ridges on the rudraksh.
Use a cotton ball or soft cloth to apply oil for some sheen on the rudraksh.
Use olive oil, sesame oil, or mustard oil. Add only a single drop.
If wearing the rudraksh in a silk thread, change it periodically to prevent dirt from accumulating on it.
Things to avoid:
Do not use soap, shampoo, or detergent to clean the rudraksh.
Do not soak the rudraksh in milk or oil for cleaning purposes.
Do not leave them at random places when not wearing them.
Do not wear the rudraksh when a taking bath. The soap residue will get stuck in the ridges and harm the bead.
Do not expose the rudraksh to heat or excess sunlight. It will start to crack.
