If you clean it promptly, even plain old water on a towel will work. If you are the type to set aside a bunch of dirty stamps to clean them "soon," lol, and then forget about 'em...you probably need a cleaning product AND something like a scrubbing pad to get into the nooks and crannies.
Not that I'm admitting to behavior like the above (and if I was, it was a long time ago, lol)! Let's just say that I've seen pigment inks when they've dried into the crevices...talk about stubborn!
Stampin Mist, Ultra Clean, anything that's got a bit of cleanser.
Baby wipes here too (alcohol-free ones so you don't dry your stamps). I find it's one of the easiest inks to clean off as long as you do it quite promptly.
I just use water on a heavy duty paper towl, the blue one that I get at the auto parts store. I keep an old tooth brush handy and a water spriter bottle if I have a stubborn spot. A LITTLE dish soap on the tooth bush helps a dried stubborn spot. then rinse the brush, wipe the stamp on your paper towel and use the brush again, if needed. I dry the stamp on a dry stamp scrubber. This works even on ink that has dried for who knows how long. ( buy a lot of stamps at goodwill and yard sales. Most clean up and stamp beautifully!) Hope this helps.
Along this same line... any secret to cleaning versamark ink? My stamp cleaning mist doesn't seem to get the sticky off/?

I was using ultra clean, but just discovered it is starting to make hair line cracks in my acrylic blocks so I am not using it anymore. I am going to go the baby wipe and ctmh cleaner route from now on.
I have hairline cracks in my older acrylic blocks, but I wasn't using Ultra clean then. That's really weird.
I find that the baby wipes leave little fibers in the crevices of my stamps that's just too hard to get out.
Then when I go to stamp, get little fiber marks in the image.
Me too! Ever since I have heard about using alcohol free baby wipes I have been doing this. They are even cheaper at big lots then dollar tree if you have one around.
