    I AM anal about it. I can't not clean them. And, even w/stazon, it seems that if I use a diff color of stazon or even versamark, some of the ink comes off. I'm weird. I hate when my clear stamps turn red. Seems there is ALWAYS red ink on my scrubbie. I'm anal about washing the scrubbie pads out too. Didn't know I could put them in the d/w tho....

    woohoo! so nice to hear you have stamps that look loved and used! they are the best kind. you are an inspiration! perhaps they are like a good roasting pan - you know seasoned!

    ha ha ha ha... I purposely try to wear pants i don't mind getting inky so I can wipe mine off with my butt too! LOL.. ok not really but I have used the thigh portion of my pants to dry them. i am not by no means anal about cleaning them, but I always give them a quick wipe before I use colored ink so I don't get mixed colors.
    Happy Crafting!

    Suzi, I am anal about clean stamps too AND I hate it when my clear stamps turn red and stay that way. As soon as I finish stamping an image, I will clean it before I do anything else.

    I do clean my stamps with alcohol free baby wipes. I wipe all the ink I can get off. Then I stop. Never had a problem. I get more upset when the ink gets on the wood of the mounted ones. I guess thats another good thing about ums.

    I may not clean the ink off of my stamps, but I HATE it when the ink gets on the wooden blocks, too!
