I have some really great pink cleaner from my lss - it's called Joy of Stamping EZ Duz It and I have not come across an ink that it doesn't clean. I started using it because it was recommended by the company where I got my somewhat pricey acrylic blocks. It was the cleaner that they said would not damage the blocks.
The smaller bottle comes in a bottle with a dauber top; I like the bigger squirt bottle type. I just squirt a little bit onto a microfiber towel and wipe everything away. I even used it on some stamps that someone had used with either metallic pigment ink or some type of paint, and it got those clean.

I use many different ways and usually it's whatever is closest to me. LOL!
I use the Stampin' Scrub by Stampin' Up! which really gets my stamps clean. I also like to use my stamp shammy by Lawn Fawn and then the old stand by...baby wipes.

Just curious on the baby wipes - alcohol free? But, is there any other ingredient to avoid. Going to look for the stamp cleaner mentioned as well.

No clue if they're alcohol free...not something I pay attention to. Regarding stamp cleaner, any stamp cleaner available at stores will do he job. Personally I don't care for Recollections from Michaels because of the scent. |

I also use the Kirkland brand from Costco. They are alcohol and chlorine free. I figure if they are safe enough to use on my dogs feet, they are safe enough for my rubber stamps  |

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

I used to use store brand baby wipes, but then I noticed lint left over on my polymer stamps. So I broke down and ordered a stamp shammy from Lawn Fawn.

I used to use baby wipes, but now I use the absorber. And when I have really ick/inky stamps I use SU spray on them.

I use a regular Shammy from Dollar Tree.  I love how clean stamps get with a Shammy. I have replaced my stamp scrubber with a Shammy. Baby Wipes I use the alcohol free ones from Dollar Tree and Wal-Mart's (Store Brand) that are also alcohol free. I make my own stamp cleaner from cheap shampoo from Dollar Tree. Are we sensing a theme here? Really, Dollar Tree needs to pay me for how much I use their name, lol. I am using White Rain shampoo right now. I do three parts shampoo, glycerin & distilled water. My stamps get so clean. Staz-On I use their cleaner. It is really not my favorite. What I am about to write will make most hard core stamper's evil side eye me or faint. Fair warning. I have used Rubbing Alcohol to clean my stamps that I used Staz-On with. It worked great. Then I would clean with my homemade stamp cleaner. I always conditioned my stamps with glycerin right after the cleaning. I have only done this with rubber stamps. Not the clear ones. Clear stamps I use my homemade stamp cleaner. I have used it on Staz-On. My stamps were so clean afterward. Tim Holtz said cheap shampoo makes great stamp cleaner. It really does. He said that years ago. I read about it on a different forum. |

Slight thread hi-jack: I have discovered a small stash of "Sham-wow" clothes that we apparently inherited in my late in laws, well, junk, for lack of a better word. Does anyone remember those things and the annoying "As Seen on TV" ads for them?  Does anyone know if a Sham-wow is anything like The Absorber? I'm wondering if I could successfully substitute the Sham-wow and get similar stamp cleaning results. |

Can't put them in the washer because the wife gets cranky ... but I guess you don't have that problem.  |

I found some shammys similar to Sham-wow that I bought and never used, they have been working just fine. I cut a large one down into 3 pieces so I grab a dry one while the others are drying. I wash them out in the sink after every stamping session. I also used it along with my homemade stamp cleaner.
