Just like your kitchen gadgets, like oven, which must be cleaned regularly to keep it in perfect condition, the rubber stamp must also be treated regularly. If you are using stamps for crafts, and you’re using inks of different colors, it becomes important for you to clean the stamp between them to avoid mixing and color transfer. Also, dirty joints can not only create poorly sealed images, but they can also attract dirt and dust. The health of rubber stamps is important to ensure durability, so we have developed guidelines for cleaning your custom stamps.
When you clean your stamps every time you use it, you will not only always ensure clean and crisp prints, but you will also increase stamps’ lifespan in the years to come.
What Tools Should You Use?
There are many options to help you clean up your custom stamps, so we’ve provided options for you:
- Try to blot your stamp then seal with a cloth or towel to remove excess ink by cleaning it with a wet baby wipes. However, choose a biodegradable option: in the end, it’s important to be nice to the planet! If you choose an alcohol-free option, this should also help maintain the integrity of the rubber surface.
- Alternatively, if you have packing tape. Try to stamp the ink on the sticky side once or twice to remove the remaining ink. A sticky surface helps retain ink. You can then continue with one of the other methods, such as wet wipes.
- Do not try to use soap in water with rubber seals on the wood mounted, as the water can weaken the glue on the pad and damage the wood over time. Therefore, do not turn them on!
