You have to solve that problem. For doing that, you can use a dart sharpener for sharping the edge. Thus the darts won’t bounce back. But while sharping, keep once fact in mind, don’t just sharp it too much. That might hurt the players.
• Replace the parts of dart- It’s obvious that, some part of the darts might get damaged. So you can replace the part which gets damaged. Suppose the tip of a dart gets damaged. So you can replace it. While replacing make sure, the new part matches with your dart type.
• Wash the darts- Just to keep the darts neat and clean you can wash them. Several parts of a dart use to get affected with dust. So you have to wash them for doing that, you can use a toothbrush. At first, soak the darts underwater mixed with detergent for at least 4-5 hours. Then clean it with a toothbrush.
