I rinse mine under the faucet in the kitchen sink first, put stamp cleaner on, scrub with a tooth brush, rinse off (often I just use my hand to do that final rinse) and pat it dry on a lint-free towel and lean it up against the splash board until dry. I've found too often that I get linties in the crevices of my stamps. But when dry, then I just use a nice blush brush from the makeup department to brush it off. By the way I have several BG stamps still on wood and some are over 10 years old and still work just fine!
