Thank you for sharing you knowledge, I appreciate and have learned so much.

Tim Holtz recommends to stamp your brand new clear stamps with Archival Ink, stamp it off and leave it there to dry, says they stamp better with it on there. I can’t get it to stay on there though. But I don’t think it matters if there is ink on there as long as it still stamps and doesn’t transfer a color you don’t want. This is great information though. I appreciate it. I’m glad you said that about not touching the back and leaving it on the block. I have several that the sticky is gone and I know that’s why.

[@Craftypumpkin1]

Fantastic video, i really love the sticking product for the stamps that have lost their sticky, and the stamp cleaning pad and fluid looks great, Thanks for sharing.

[@melaniebloom3093]

Thank you so much for this video. It is very informative.

[@elisebb8423]

Thanks, Maymay! I need to get some Squeaky Clean and the scrubber!

[@susans3996]

Great tips. Thanks for sharing.

[@carriestierlen3771]

I always love your tips!! I wish Christopher would make that in gallon sized jugs! I use it all over my house I used it on my baseboards yep you guessed it they were squeaky clean! Can't wait for the next video! Have a blessed Easter.

[@carolstella6776]

My “stamp scrubber” has always been a paint pad from the hardware store inside a plastic pencil box. I’ve had it for decades. Super cheap and basically the same thing that you pay 3x as much for at the craft store.

[@robint1062]

I use the tacky strip for unmounted red rubber stamps. It is amazing.

[@daffysmom3793]

Great information. Tape for removing dust is awesome. Warm regards from Michigan.

[@lexiewilliams1478]

Thankyou so much, extremely informative tutorial Maymay. Lexie from Australia

[@Papiercutz]

Happy to know I've been doing it right.

[@verblu8507]

Thanks for all the information! God bless!!!!

[@brendalawrence6732]

I also use a nail brush with squeaky clean to get into the grooves of words and such. Also Hero Arts ink will really stain stamps, doesn't hurt them, just stains them. At least in my experience. Thanks for the tips Maymay! Hugs, Brenda

[@LiyanaDIY]

Beautiful, the cheap ones I agree,noticed that too

[@lovieball552]

Just what I needed. New to card making and stamps.

[@JDasah]

Hi Maymay! I wanted to express my appreciation and thank you and your team for all your hard work. Paticurlarly you! You think about your viewers and you take your time to explain everything. You are very creative! You are also very creative! I love that you inspire us and encourage us not to stress. Lastly, most importantly, your love for God and His word and you're not ashame to stand for Him! It touched me that you decided to move the Scripture stamp club reveal date and your thoughtfulness and obedience to His word to not a stumbling block. God bless you Maymay amd team. Love, DassahJB

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Thank you so much! God bless!

[@fayejones6740]

Thanks for the info. have a great day.

[@arlenef707]

Very informative. Thank you

[@suchatimeasthis1958]

Loads of great tips!! Tfs :)

[@paulaslater9593]

Great information as always! What do you recommend for rubber stamp cleaning?

[@LB-vl3qn]

Great info, thanks. So, when you clean the pad in the Squeaky Clean how clean does it get? Or, should I say how badly does it stain?

[@1Cheribaby]

Thanks for the tips MayMay. How do you soften red rubber stamps? I have stamps from late 90’s that seem to have hardened a bit. Is there a way to soften them back up? I was thinking of putting a little glycerin in them and letting sit for a while.

[@TanBraeDesigns]

Well done! Do you have any advice for getting stamps OFF of their backers when first being used? I've gotten several stamps that just won't come off the acrylic backers, and I'm afraid I'm going to rip them. :(

[@coopie624]

Great info! Is it ok to use a soft toothbrush to help clean out tiny areas?

[@tudytrgovac1407]

Super helpful.

[@opal777]

I actually prefer the stained but translucent stamps. I find it easier to line them up. Suggestion: When you place that sticky product on your block, before you take the protective sheet of....make a mark on the top of it with a permanent marker. Then, after removing it, you know which side needs to be up. I say that because some of these products require a certain side of the protective sheet....which might be the reason that it curled when you removed it the second time.

[@Jay-vb4fk]

New Subbie!! Sent by Craft on great way to clean stamps have a lovely day 🌺

[@lynenaya2690]

Is there a better way to clean our squeaky pad then running cool water?

[@justjudycrafting7401]

Great tips. I’m not as good as I should be with my stamps.

[@ckforester3822]

Those are two great products. I don’t own a pad like that but definitely need to get that. I’ve ruined ink pads by using baby wipes on my stamps. Unfortunately the baby wipe lint has transferred not only to my projects, but onto some ink pads as well and it’s very frustrating. Can the scrubber pad you were using being cleaned as well? If so, what would you use? Dish soap or the squeaky clean and warm water? And, I have one last question: Do the stamps dry quickly when using the dry side of the scrubber pad - in case you want to re-ink stamp using a different color. Btw, i love your videos and appreciate all the effort you put in to doing this, just to help others. Crafty hugs.

[@terriconrad4612]

The tacky tape wouldn’t work so good if you use a stamping platform. I’m awful at block stamping so I usually have better luck with a platform. Will using Dawn help with stamps that have embossing powder on the backs or would the purple tape idea be best? How about restoring sticky on the backs? Yes, I’m a hot mess at times! Great tips! Thank you! 💕🙋‍♀️

[@WhereWhoMe]

Does squeaky clean leave an oily residue like Ultra clean does? I've always used ultra clean, but don't really like the smell and the oily residue it leaves. Started looking into making my own stamp cleaner, and then I see this video post. Thank you for sharing these tips, and I am happy to learn I'm not the only one who puts stamps on big blocks to clean later. :D

[@tamthaluehrs]

MeWho hello, Squeaky Clean does not leave a residue on your stamps. Here is the link for BM products in the store: bit.ly/2Zq3AY4

[@bunniesinclair197]

What is name of Bunny stamp. Please. Enjoy all of your videos.

[@nanajack8527]

I agree with the squeaky clean...it's brilliant but one thing I would love to know is how to clean the pads. Been using mine for 3 months now and boy are they dirty!!

[@PEPSIKERR]

I scrub the pads in the sink with Dawn and a nail brush. Don't try dishwasher. All me how I know?

[@DianaHernandez-kn1ne]

tfs

[@christinem2873]

You are soooo funny. Nothing on your fingers but stamp gunk on a year no problem😂😂😂

[@meredithdyson6701]

Can you clean the squeaky clean pad? What would you use?

[@MaymayMadeIt]

Soap and water in the sink. It cleans up real well.

[@kathleencovill3566]

I cannot stand the feel of micro cloths. Is there another cloth I can use? You mentioned lint free, what else is lint free? And thank you soooo soooo soooo much for this tutorial. I was using non-alcohol baby wipes and found out that it is a no-no.

[@PEPSIKERR]

How about a cotton flour sack dish towel?

[@tinabruderer488]

Can the pad be washed in the dishwasher or the washing machine?

[@PEPSIKERR]

Nope. It'll melt

[@sakura_kary]

Hi! Thank you maymay.. Here in Spain it is so popular to use baby wet wipes.. I am not sure if it is bad for the stamps or is ok, what do you think about that? Thank you

[@valrodgers8889]

kary otaku we also use ba y wipes in Australia. Our craft shop uses them, s o it’s ok, as they make stamps.

[@sakura_kary]

@@valrodgers8889 thank you :)

[@MaymayMadeIt]

They are fine, I use them sometimes too.

[@sakura_kary]

@@MaymayMadeIt thank you 😍 sometimes in Spain get some items is difficult or expensive and when you are starting you want everything but you have to choose with priorities 🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@sandranorman4270]

I never see the links...how do I get to them and to order from you

[@tamthaluehrs]

Hi, you can go to maymaymadeit.com to order products used in the video, you can also get all the links from our blog post at maymaymadeit.info Thanks

[@dawnyork2303]

May May can you use Clorox whipes?

[@MaymayMadeIt]

I wouldn't use them to clean my stamps with on a regular basis. I mentioned that you could even use bleach because there is a stamping technique that uses bleach and it doesn't hurt the stamps. But, I still wouldn't clean with it. Thanks

[@dianedevincenzo4450]

How can I get the squeaky clean and scrubber
