Why do you need to purify things?
Physical objects are like energy sponges, and as time goes on, they soak up the energy of everything around them. Lots of witches these days are familiar with how crystals operate, so I'll use a crystal as an example.
The first time you pick up a crystal in a shop, it absorbs some of your energy as it rests in your hand. As you purchase it, it absorbs the energy of the register. It absorbs some of the energy of the bag it's put in, and it absorbs some of the energy around you as you walk out of the shop and back to your car. It absorbs the sound of you singing along to the radio on the car ride home. It absorbs the energy of your house as you take it inside. It absorbs the energy of your altar as you first set it down. It absorbs the energy of every spell you do with it, and it absorbs the energy of everything that happens around it - every time you speak or worry or laugh or cry or anything. It is always there, absorbing and collecting whatever ambient energy it encounters.
These stray energies build up over time, eventually clouding the crystal and disrupting its own unique vibration. After a while, the crystal might start to act erratically in spellwork, even backfiring at times. Under extreme stress (environments that are particularly erratic, emotional, and/or negative), the crystal may even build up so much excess energy that it shatters.
Even worse, let's say you have the crystal in your pocket one day, and you get into an argument with someone. The crystal will also absorb that aggressive, argumentative energy. If it absorbed enough of it, it will start attracting that energy to you whenever you carry it or use it. You might start getting into a lot of arguments all of a sudden, and obstacles might start appearing everywhere you turn. The same could happen if the crystal encountered any negative or oppressive energy, like sadness, regret, or suffering. (Side note: When houses/locations absorb a lot of violent, stressful, aggressive energy, they often begin to manifest poltergeists)
The purpose of cleansing/purifying, as a witch, is to rid an object of these built-up energies - to bring it back to a pure, unaltered state. You are essentially setting it free of all its baggage and allowing it to vibrate how it naturally wants to.
It isn't only crystals that can be/need to be purified (tho crystals are much more sensitive to energy than almost anything else and do need to be purified regularly). Literally any object you can imagine holds onto energy in some way. Some other things that you may want to cleanse at least every once in a while:

There are an infinite number of techniques you can use to cleanse or purify something. Every culture throughout history has invented some way of doing this, so study up and see what works.
The most basic way of cleansing something uses only your own energy and willpower. Be mindful, though, that it is easy for stray energies to latch onto you when using this technique, so grounding afterwards is imperative.
