One popular way to cleanse a deck of tarot cards is smudging. To smudge your tarot deck, burn palo santo, sage, or incense, and let the smoke flow over the cards to get rid of any lingering energies.
Certain crystals can also cleanse tarot cards. For example, you can set a selenite or clear quartz crystal on top of your deck to banish negative energies and make sure they’re totally clear for your next reading.

Use light! Cleanse your tarot cards with spiritual light by picturing light going through your deck and getting everybody else's energies out. You can also shake the tarot cards in a bag of salt, use singing bowls, or put your cards under moonlight or sunlight.

I cleanse my tarot decks in a lot of different ways. One method is to use crystals—placing selenite, clear quartz, or even obsidian around the deck. This helps clear energy so that past readings don’t interfere with new ones. You can also knock on the cards, shake them, or shuffle them intentionally to disperse energy. Another method is using incense or smoke cleansing. Some people even use sound healing, like filling a room with frequency sounds or using a singing bowl. Personally, I love using selenite and incense.
