Evidently, baby wipes don't do the trick, not with archival ink. Is there anything that will clean the stain off the rubber stamps?
Thanks in advance!

I've used a cleaning spray like method into a cleaning rag and that seems to work pretty well.

Ranger makes an archival ink cleaner. I know you asked about rubber stamps, but I'll add my two cents here about clear stamps. Archival Ink in black is my go-to stamping ink and I don't tend to clean my stamps after I use them. I've started selling some stamps I don't use anymore so I bought the cleaner to make them more presentable. Well, the ink has been on these stamps for years, so it didn't work for me. While I know clear stamps will stain with most inks, I was hoping the cleaner would maybe take a bit off. So, if you get the cleaner, my advice is to not wait years to use it, lol.

Some inks don't come off no matter what you use. A lot of my older clear stamps are permanently stained. The Hero Arts Navy is the worst culprit for me - i've owned it for years, and I still like the colour unfortunately, but I try to stay away from it for that reason. I have several cleaners that I've tried over the years. Newer inks like the Gina K and Catherine Pooler seem to be very different formulations and come off so easily! Do you think there might be a difference in the stamps as well - have they improved the composition in the past 15 years?

I used some non-bleach cleaner and a baby wipe. It cleaned the stain right off the stamp. Thanks for your help! 👍
