Nothing makes me feel old like tuning into a video featuring a successful businessman that looks 16:years old. :)

Thanks, Simon! For a brand new cardmaker, it can be hard to find these essential bits of information. I really appreciate your straightforward videos!

[karenthomas]

Great tips! Can’t get the Brutus monroe in the UK but can get other bits. Lovely to see a young man crafting! My son loves crafting too and it’s great. ❤️

Thanks for sharing. I could literally smell the rose scented cleaner. Funny how the mind works. hehe :)

I think, cleaning them is necessary but some stain gives the stamp a touch of character !! Thanks for this info -- I'm new to 'stamping' I'm starting to make ' Zines' with my photography

[pammclennan]

Thanks for the useful info Simon. I like to use baby wipes or just alcohol to clean my stamps and equipment plus my inked up fingers.

[sallyannjackson]

Brilliant video, please can you add a link so I can purchase squeeky products, finding hard to find on websites
Many thanks 😊

I've never heard of Squeaky Clean before. I always clean my stamps as I go. For dye inks I just rinse off in the sink. Otherwise I use spray on stuff that I've had for years. Thanks for the tip about getting my stamps to restick!

[pmgreatorex]

Simon, if I wore a white sweater while I was making cards😝. Good for you! You must be a much cleaner crafter than I am. Thanks for these great tips and products. I agree with you that the Brutus Monroe stamp cleaner smells so good!

[nancyprobst]

Thank you! Sqeaky clean is new to me. I'll have to give it a try.

What is the Is towel you're using to wipe it off

[deborahanne]

Does the archival ink cleaner smell? Thank you.

[mariskaritfeld]

Great video! Thanks! I have the rub it scrub it and I use it frequently

[margaritanavarro-rivera]

Simon, you are such a breath of fresh air! Love your upbeat videos! They make me smile! By the way when are you and Rina K going to do another podcast or video?

Great presentation Simon! the archive cleaner is good but very unhappy about the felt pad falling off after very little use. It was impossible to replace, the product rendered useless so in to the trash it went. Anyone else have issues with that tip?

[CouzCat]

Very helpful. Is archival cleaner safe for photopolymer stamps?

[TheSpinDoctor]

Never cleaned a stamp or stencil in my life - I’m too lazy lol. I just let acrylic paint, Archival or Stāzon dry and they never move again (if I was using like yellow Archival after black, I’d just wipe it on a rag first). Stamps stained by Archival are SO much easier to line up - v handy for layering sets. I stain my clear, layering stamps on purpose to make that much easier. Water soluble dye inks don’t tend to stay behind enough on the stamp to need to wash them, and if they do, I just stamp it again on something else or use it to add texture to a background. I don’t use pigment inks or hybrids like Distress Oxide for stamping but i can imagine they’re messy as so sticky. I’ve found crafters fall into two camps - the ones who meticulously clean things and then the ones who are like me or Mrs Wakley who never clean anything!

Bro can this this i item clean the black money ?

[michellegamble]

I been wanting to try Brutus Monroe, does it make the stamp dull and sticky? Hero arts makes the stamp dull and sticky.

I have been wanting to get a permanent ink for stamping on fabric etc but was so afraid of staining my stamps that I didn't. Then recently I got the impression that Ranger's Archival stamp pads weren't as bad as Stazon so had planned to invest in those. But you've sufficiently scared me back into the camp of play it safe and stick to dye based ink pads. I thought the archival cleaner would get the ink off as long as you don't let it sit. What's the point in buying clear stamps and acrylic blocks if both are going to end up as black as soot??? Thoroughly confused and discouraged now :(
