I'm looking for the easiest and least messy way. :-) I have the scrubby things for years, but I stopped using them a long time ago and forget what you're supposed to use as the liquid. I normally use baby wipes, but they're so wet I have to leave the stamps out to dry because the liquid pools in the stamp. Are there less juicy baby wipes or some ingenious thing I'm missing out on? ::-)
Thanks!

I watched a few videos by people who said they never clean their stamps. They just stamp to remove excess ink and then put away.i gave it a try, but couldn't do it.
I use a stamp cleaner, it looks like a distress dauber. Wipe it over the stamp, then use a paper towel to dry off the excess cleaner fluid. I like this better than my old method of running to the sink and giving them a good rinse.

I have one of those, too. I put some of the liquid on the scrubby thing, but it seemed messier. I'll try your way, thanks!

That's what my sister and I do and don't have any problems. On the very rare occasion that I use Versamark or a pigment ink, I just use water on a paper towel to clean the stamp. I found out that someone I know uses spit to clean her stamps. Yuck! |

I normally use baby wipes and stamp on scrap paper to dry. I only use my scrubber if I'm using versa mark inks.......

baby wipes but if I'm using a rubber stamp or something that I need to stamp over and over I'll use my scrubby thing with stampin up stamp cleaner spray.

Baby wipes, but like thekatsmeow I will also use my scrubber and spray if I'm reusing the stamp or don't want to mix colors. I usually stamp off before cleaning since I always have computer paper sitting there for my test stamping.

I make stamp cleaner from an online recipe ( baby soap, glycerin and water, I believe) and keep it in a little spray bottle . I have a white towel ( goodwill). Hanging at my desk.... Spray and then wipe with towel. My towel is so pretty with all the colors on it!!!

I use a scrubber and spritz now, but or years I simply used a damp wash cloth. Worked great and was simple.
I like the scrubber and spritz because it is convenient and always ready at my desk. With the wash cloth I had to go to the kitchen or bathroom to dampen it and if I wasn't careful I would sometimes accidentally get something wet by leaving my damp cloth on it.
But it is cheap and easy! I never use baby wipes because I feel like they would leave a film or residue on my stamps.
