I use a concoction made with glycerin, distilled water, and baby soap. I put it in a spray bottle, spray the stamps, and then wipe them with a white towel that I keep in my work area. I have to admit, that I love to see the colors accumulate on that towel. (The towel by the way came from Goodwill so was a minor investment.)
for anything tough, I use stays on. But most of the inks come off with my spray cleaner if I spray as soon as I'm done.

I like baby wipes for clear stamps. I use Stampin' Up!'s or Hero Arts spray cleaner for red rubber stamps. Find they get cleaner w/ a spray cleaner.

Water in a spray bottle then scrub clean/dry on the CTMH scrubber.

I use baby wipes, StazOn cleaner, and regular stamp cleaners depending on the ink I've used. But making my own sounds like a great idea. I don't like the fact the the regular stamp cleaners have sponge tops which transfer ink colors. |

For most dye inks, I like plain water on an old terrycloth wash cloth. They really don't need anything more than that. I don't use pigment ink much, but when I do I use a commercial cleaner for that. I try to avoid inks that stain the dies really bad, I'm kind of weird that way.

I usually use alcohol and fragrance free baby wipes. I also have the scrubby pad and cleaner from SU! that I sometimes use. I think the scrubby pad works better on rubber stamps and the baby wipes on clear stamps.

Usually alcohol & fragrance free baby wipes, but occasionally they need a bit more of a clean - either with soap and water or with stamp cleaner. For dark staining I clean once in a while with Stazon cleaner.

For clear stamps I generally clean right away - just rinsing them under running water and then drying with a paper towel. When I am at a crop I use a small spray bottle with water but I haven't found a good solution yet for rubber stamps. Would love your recipe too scrapaddie!

I use Staz On cleaner. Baby wipes don't seem to take care of Staz on ink. Would love to know if there is a better way to clean off Staz On ink?

I think I bought my first batch of supplies two to three years ago and I am still not anywhere close to being done with them. It is soooo much more economical. For those that are interested - here is the recipe I use: Recipe [HASH]1: (Reported to be close to Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Mist) 2 Cups of Distilled water 1 Tablespoon Baby Magic Baby wash 2 Tablespoons Rose Water or glycerin |

I believe I mix it with water ( this is pretty concentrated ). 1 part solution to 5 parts water |

Baby wipes! My 10yo granddaughter was with me last time bought some and she was so confused at why gramma was buying baby wipes!  |
