Prepare a bowl of water before you start cleaning. Place the Nano Marimo into the bowl of water after removing it from its original container. Squeeze the Nano Marimo gently in the water but do not place it under strong water flows. Should it be deformed, you can try to roll it timidly with your palm. After changing the water inside the original container, place the Nano Marimo back.

The method to clean a bigger-sized Marimo is the same as for Nano Marimo, but you should not roll it. Remove any brown or white spot you found on the Marimo with scissors. Squeeze it gently to remove any filthy water trapped before returning it to its original container.


P/S: If your tap water is cloudy or yellowish, do not use it as it will harm your Marimo; use filtered water instead.
