Do you know how to care for your acrylic blocks?

Stampin’Up has the best acrylic blocks on the market. They are thick enough to hold and has grooves on the sides to help keep your fingers in place so the block does not slip. For the quality they are reasonably priced and will last for many years with proper care.

Use our high-quality, reusable acrylic blocks for all of your cling rubber stamps and photopolymer clear stamps. Stamp blocks are grooved for easy gripping and clear so you can see right where you're stamping. Temporarily mount stamps on clear blocks for stamping, then remove for space-saving storage.

It is important to keep them clean. During classes or long stamping sessions I use hand sanitizers. Do not use baby wipes. They can leave fine lint on the block and a greasy finish from a lotion used for babies. It protects the baby but not your acrylic block.

After your stamping session, clean your used blocks with rubbing alcohol and a soft shammy.

One or two times a month give them a good cleaning with warm water and Dawn dish washing solution. This removes oil from fingerprints on the blocks. Let them soak for about five minutes and then use a sponge of soft dishrag to clean. Rinse them well and air dry them by setting them on their side so the stamping surface is exposed to the air.

Avoid hot water. This can cause them to turn milky instead of sparkly clear.
