Method 1# Simply Wash & Sanitize
Before the massage, I wash it with anti-bacterial soap (even if it has been stored properly). When I finish, I wash and spray some alcohol to sanitize it. I use the same methods to clean both gua sha and jade rollers.

Method 2# Hot Bath
For deeper cleansing, fill a bowl with hot water and add antibacterial soap and a few drops of alcohol 70. Soak the gua sha or the jade roller tool and leave it there for 10 minutes.
After that, dry the massager tools with microfiber town and store them properly, as we’ll take a look at later in this article.
Note: This method is not indicated for wooden massager tools, as it can damage the material.
Method 3# Sea Salt
If you are looking for a natural way to clean your jade roller and your gua sha, fill a bowl with hot water, and instead of adding soap and alcohol, substitute them for salt. If you are near the beach, you can even use the seawater to clean and recharge your tools.
Method 4# Simply Disinfecting
If you run out of time, use isopropyl alcohol spray or a colloidal silver spray and let it dry.
Method 5# UV Light Sanitizer
Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation can disinfect 99% of germs and bacteria. It’s a great thing to have at home because it can sanitize not only your massage tools but many other things, such as mobile phones, tablets, etc.
Method 6# Boiling water
This method is indicated for metal gua sha tools, which can damage wooden and crystal versions of gua sha. Place the tool in boiling water and leave it there for at least 5 minutes.

Final Takes
Clean your gua sha tools every time you finish your massage, but I like to wash them before the massage as well, to protect your skin from bacteria that may cause redness, allergies, breakouts, and things like that.
