My
Acrylix™ Care & Cleaning
As part of our
My Acrylix™ durability studies we've done extensive research on
the best ways to clean and care for our new stamps and mounting
blocks. For best results, we recommend the following:
-
Clean your
stamps (and the block if needed) immediately after use. The longer
ink remains, the more difficult it will be to remove. (Pigment inks
such as Close To My Heart Archival Ink and Staz On will permanently
discolor the stamp image. As was the case with rubber, you will also
notice that over time darker inks like reds and purples will also
cause some discoloration.)
-
Use My
Acrylix™ Spritz or Stamp Cleaner and the Double Scrubber for
regular cleaning. These products are the most effective at removing
residual ink, and will not damage My Acrylix regardless of use. We
recommend cleaning the stamps while still on the blocks. (Wash your
Double Scrubber pads in the dishwasher to remove excess fibers.)
-
Use soap and
water to restore tack. Dust, dirt, and oils may cause your stamps to
become less sticky over time. If you find they seem less adhesive,
simply wash the stamps with dish soap and water to restore their
original "stick." (Continual use of soap and water will
eventually cause a build-up. We recommend using this method
occasionally, only as needed.)
-
Use alcohol to
remove residue. If you notice a residue on the back of your stamps,
rub them with alcohol using a non-abrasive, fiber free cloth. DO NOT
USE ALCOHOL ON MY ACRYLIX™ BLOCKS. (Extensive use of alcohol is
not recommended. Use this method occasionally, only as needed.)
Frequently
Asked Questions
The following
are answers to several Frequently Asked Questions in regards to the
care of My Acrylix™.
Q. Will
Staz On ink or cleaner damage My Acrylix™?
A. Staz
On ink was designed for permanently decorating non-porous surfaces
such as glass, metal, and ceramic, not for use in albums or with
paper crafts. The ink has no effect on the stamp or block, other than
discoloration. We recommend cleaning your stamps with the Spritz or
Stamp Cleaner as outlined above, immediately after use for best results.
Staz On
Cleaner was designed to erase mistakes or residual ink on your
stamped surface before the ink dries. Although it is safe to use on
your stamps, we do not recommend using Staz On cleaner (or any oil
based cleaner) on My Acrylix™ blocks.
Q. Will
alcohol damage My Acrylix™?
A. As
discussed above, alcohol is okay for the occasional cleaning of
stamps only. We do not recommend cleaning My Acrylix™ blocks
with alcohol-based products, as the alcohol may cause hairline
fractures in the material.
Q. Is
the My Acrylix™ Spritz Cleaner different from the Spritz Cleaner
previously available?
A. No.
Although we changed the name and packaging to reflect the My
Acrylix™ brand, the product is the same. This cleaner is the
preferred method of regular cleaning.
Q. Can
I use baby wipes to clean my stamps?
A. Baby
wipes will leave a fibrous residue on both the stamps and blocks.
Although they will not damage My Acrylix™, we do not recommend
their use.
Q. Can
I use dish soap and water instead of the Spritz or Stamp Cleaner to
clean My Acrylix™?
A. As
mentioned, soap and water is very effective at removing the dust and
dirt that can reduce "stickiness" over time. Continual use
however, will cause a build up on your stamps. To remove ink, we
recommend using the Spritz or Stamp Cleaner and the Double Scrubber
as outlined.
Q. Can
I use acetone to clean My Acrylix™?
A. We
do not recommend the use of acetone on any stamping product.
Q. I
often use the bleaching technique. Will this harm my stamps?
A.
Using the bleaching technique will not harm your stamps. We recommend
that you use bleach with caution however, and immediately remove it
from your stamps with the Spritz or Stamp Cleaner.
Q. I
sometimes get ink on my block when stamping. What's the best way to
clean it?
A.
Clean My Acrylix™ blocks immediately after use with the Spritz
or Stamp Cleaner as needed. Do not use alcohol or oil based cleaners. |
