To clean I use simple soap and water. If you're putting them away either lay them flat or hang them up. If your storing them in a tube make sure the rod and tube are absolutely dry.

wiped down with a damp cloth, let dry then polish with furniture polish helps bead water off the blank , then back out fishing with them again,any rods that are hung up are made sure to be dry

Touch more to that if you're using a Bamboo Rod, but other than that, the Fellows have it well covered above. Do like the bit about furniture polish, that had never crossed my mind. Great idea.
