How Herb Cleaning Profit Works
Herb cleaning converts grimy herbs into clean herbs, adding value and providing Herblore XP. Clean herbs sell for more than grimy ones because they can be used directly in potion making, saving the buyer a step. Using the 1-tick cleaning method (rapidly clicking each herb without delay), you can clean approximately 5,000 herbs per hour.
The most profitable herbs to clean change with GE prices, but ranarr, snapdragon, and torstol consistently rank near the top due to their use in high-demand potions like prayer potions, super restores, and overloads. Lower-tier herbs like guam and marrentill have smaller margins but require lower Herblore levels and can still generate steady income.
Herb cleaning pairs naturally with potion making for a two-step profit chain: clean grimy herbs for a small margin, then brew them into potions for additional profit. The Herblore Calculator shows which potions are most profitable to brew right now, and the Decanting Calculator covers dose manipulation for further margin extraction.
