You need oil, soft paper towel, white lint-free cloth and a place mat or newspaper. The sewing machine oil is the most recommended cleaning oil for swords whatever kind of sword you have. First, wipe the blade with your soft lint free paper towel. This will remove dust and other small particles. Make sure that the blade is clean and dry before oiling. You don’t need to be too careful as you get rid of the dust since champagne sabre’s blade is blunt.


Oil Now, it is time for you add a little oil at the cleaning cloth. Just some small droplet of oil will do and give your champagne sword a slight gleam.
