Stamp Care ~ info for stampers.

Here is some info on how to care for all of your stamps. I just thought I would pass it along :)

FOAM STAMPS

DO clean foam stamps immediately after use, especially if you are stamping with acrylic paint.

DO clean foam stamps using mild baby wipes. Let the stamps dry thoroughly before putting them away

DON'T wash foam stamps with soap and water. Detergent may cause foam to separate from backing

CLEAR STAMPS

DO wash periodically with mild soap & warm water
to remove reside and restore stickiness.

DO store clear stamps in their original clear mounting sheets. Store clear stamps either horizontally or vertically.

DON'T worry about stains on clear stamps. Staining will not effect the quality of stamped images.

RUBBER STAMPS

DO clean immediately after use using cleaner designed for rubber stamps. This special cleaner will condition the rubber as it cleans off the ink.

DO stamp off the cleaned stamp on paper to be sure it is completely clean. Let stamps dry before putting them away.

DON"T use soap, household cleaners or products containing alcohol to clean rubber stamps. These may leave behind a residue or may cause the rubber to break down.
