I just got a new Italian brass-jaw floor corker (wish I'd done that two
years ago!). What should be used to clean the jaws? Also, should the jaws
be lubricated at some frequency? With what?
Thanks,

Bart

Cork dry. No lube. No need to clean jaws that way.

Since the jaws are brass, no lube is needed. The cork slides along the brass
and that may contaminate your wine or make your cork too slick to stay in
the bottle.
