How do I clean and maintain my wax seal stamp?

Proper maintenance of your Bortoletti wax seal stamps keeps them in perfect working order:

Routine Cleaning: After each use, allow your stamp to cool completely. Gently remove excess wax by wiping the surface with a soft, lint‑free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the stamp’s intricate details.

Deep Cleaning When Needed: If wax builds up in the engraved lines, cool the stamp thoroughly (a chilled metal surface works well), then use a fine tool—such as a small plastic scraper or a soft brush—to gently dislodge any residue.

Storage: Keep your stamp in its protective case when not in use to avoid dust accumulation or accidental damage. Regular, gentle cleaning helps maintain the clarity of the engraved design, ensuring future seals are as striking as the first.

Following these care tips prolongs the life and performance of your handmade Bortoletti stamp.
