Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Namaste Parthi, Ms Neetaji of Rudra Centre has adviced of a much better way for cleaning rudraksha by avoiding soap totally : Soak the beads in water with lemon juice for 12 to 15 hours. Lemon juice helps bleach the beads to a brighter color. Scrub with a hard brush. Leave beads to dry in the shade for 12 hours in warm climate. After beads are completely dry, oil must be applied.
