How to Clean a Laser-Engraved Card

Laser engraving works by burning a deep groove into the steel. It looks crisp and beautiful, but over time, pocket lint or dust can get trapped in those tiny grooves, making the white text look dull.

The Toothbrush Trick

Do not use a cloth—it can't reach inside the letters.
1. Get an old toothbrush (soft bristle).
2. Add a drop of dish soap and warm water.
3. Scrub the engraving in a circular motion.

This lifts the dirt out of the laser grooves. Rinse it off, and your text will pop with bright white contrast again, looking brand new.
