All shofars come with a curing process so they don't have an odor, so you don't need to cure it.

However, if they are new, they might still have a slight odor. For this, we recommend the following steps:

• Rinse the inside of the shofar with vinegar or a baking soda and water solution. If the shofar still has an odor, cover the mouthpiece with a paper towel and fill the shofar halfway with pure baking soda. Let it stand, with the baking soda inside for 12 hours, then empty it, remove the paper towel, and rinse the horn with water.

• Clean the exterior of the horn with a damp cloth to remove any dust or dirt when necessary. Do this carefully to avoid scratching the instrument.

• Moisten a pipe cleaner with warm water and insert it into the mouthpiece. Gently clean the inside of the mouthpiece with the pipe cleaner, then remove it and dry the mouthpiece with a paper towel. Only clean the mouthpiece when it is partially or completely blocked.

Once you finish this step, it's time to let it dry for at least 1 or 2 days, preferably in the sun or in a dry place.

Tip: never leave your shofar in a plastic bag as it will absorb moisture and develop an odor.
