Wash with fresh water. Do not oil them.

ok thanks, but they are scratching a bit when they turn.
And i have another problem, it's really hard to rise the main, do i need to wash the block at the top of the mast or to oil the main sleeve ?

sorry for my english

English is fine.

Maybe use something like silicone spray or McLube Sailkote.

Silicone works well for the blocks, travelers, jam cleats and luff line. It is relatively cheap.
