It is important be clean and be in wudu for reciting the Quran. Your clothes must be cleaned and you must perform ablution before starting to recite the Holy Quran.

In a Register well-protected; None touch it except the purified.” (Quran, 56:77-79) Thus, we must purify ourselves and then start the recitation of the Holy Quran.
Quran is great book of Allah and we must respect it by reciting it with the proper manner. While reciting Quran, we must sit in a clean and respectable place. Moreover, we should also sit in a respectful manner when we are doing the recitation of Quran. For instance, if you recite Quran in a room then make sure that the room must not be some dirty place but totally cleaned. This is a way to respect the Holy Quran and we must do so.
We must start the recitation of Quran with Tauz and Tasmiyah. Both Tauz and Tasmiyah are written below;
Tauz: Audhu Billahi mina-Shaitan-nir-Rajeem
Translation: “I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the Accursed.”
Tasmiyah: Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim”
Translation: “In the name of God, most Gracious, most Compassionate.”
However, we must not recite Bismillah before starting Surah Tawbah.

Moreover, we must place Quran at higher place like pillow etc., while reciting the Holy Quran to give it proper respect.
