Cleaning your Stamps

[sarahspain]

I am just getting back into cardmaking and have got some SU stamps.

What do you all use to clean your stamps?

Apologies if I've posted in the wrong section - I'm new on here

I use the SU Scrubber and their cleaner. I think the scrubber has been on back-order for awhile now due to quality issues. Check with your demo. I like the SU scrubber the best. Those little fibers get right into the cracks of my stamps and get them nice and clean! I use Staz On cleaner for when I stamp something with Staz On ink, but that is rare these days.

My favorite cleaner is water. And if you use it soon enough, it is usually enough. (doesn't work very well with some permanent inks though)

I use alcohol & lanolin free baby wipes. If its an ink thats tough to clean I will put a little bit of stamp cleaner on the wipe and clean them.

I also use the Stampin Up mist, I love it and it has always worked really good for me. I did my a Close To My Heart scrubber to use with my Stazon On cleaner and I like that also. If I had to buy something now I'd buy the SU mist and the CTMH srcubber.

Hope you find one that works for you.

Thank you for your quick replies - some great ideas for me to try

I do the alcohol free baby wipes too. I have a SU scrubber but never use it! I do have SU spray cleaner also and use it only sometimes. ;)

I use homemade cleaner. Just awesome cleaner from the dollar store and 2 tablespoons of glycerin in a spray bottle. I got the idea from a thread on here about making your own stamp cleaner.

I use S Up Stampin' Mist and scrubber. It seems to clean all my inks including Momento. IF I use Stays-On, I do use their cleaner but I seldom use that ink. Used water and a drop of Shaklee Basic H2. Cleaned well, was inexpensive, but I still like S Up Mist the best.

Me too! I put mine in a little spritzer bottle to spray on my double-sided scrubber pad. Use one side to clean, the other to dry. Staining doesn't bother me so I'm not as picky as others I guess.
