How Do I Care For My Stamp

Rubber stamps come in all shapes and sizes. Most have some sort of a mounting system either wood, ABS, foam or thick foam with thin wood. Most rubber stamp images are permanently attached to the mount, some you can peel and stick back on, some have no mounts at all. The actual rubber stamp itself also comes in many forms, from traditional grey rubber (also available in red, blue, beige or black),

or pink polymer.

Whatever the type they all need care and attention, then they will last for years. Rubber Stamps are not designed to be thrown away after a couple uses, with a little wipe after use, or alot of wipes, you can keep the die clean and ready for use.


Cleaning Materials: soap/washing up liquid, baby wipes,  Ink Remover/Cleaner, hand cleaner, cotton buds, j cloth, old toothbrush.


-- Baby wipes work great on most water base inks and stamp surfaces, if you clean immediately. Although they will not remove ink from wood, only sanding will remove in this case.
