Trouble cleaning rubber stamps

[Seahorse]

I have some rubber stamps which seem to attract little bits of tissue.
I clean them with stazon cleaner, dab them with tissue but little bits still stick on them.

Any hints?

I run mine under the tap to remove any fibres but i don't know if that is 'the done thing'.

Also babywipes are good as they don't leave any fibres.

Like moist towellettes?
Il give em a go.

Try not to dry them on dry tissue, no matter what cleaner you use you will always attract particles from tissue. I don't use any solvent cleaners on my stamps, I simply get an old plate, cover with a couple of sheets of kitchen paper and then spray lightly with water. Everytime I've finished stamping, I stamp onto the plate a few times which does remove the ink. Once it's soiled with too much ink, I simply put another piece on top or change if necessary.

As suggested, babywipes also work well, but I've found that they sometimes leave a little bit of a stick residue on some stamps. You must ensure that they are alcohol free ones. Stay clear of the really cheap ones because you really do get what you pay for. Tesco's often have a bogof offer on wipes (their own brand and top brands such as pampers). The rule I go by is if you wouldn't use them on your baby's bottom, then don't use them on your stamps! lol

Heheheh Small botties tho!

I use the non perfumed wipes for loads of craft things - good at cleaning glue up too!!

I've got a mat that is a bit like one that you would use to scrape mud off boots and that works really well. You literally just rub the stamps onto it and it removes the ink - you can then wash it under the tap if it gets too full of ink. I got it from somewhere like Lakeland.
