Can I use rubbing alcohol to clean Rubber Stamps?

Yes, rubbing alcohol is an effective cleaner for many stamp inks, though it should be used with a little care depending on the stamp material.

• It works well on solvent-based and pigment inks that plain water struggles to lift.
• Apply it to a cotton pad or soft cloth and blot the stamp surface rather than scrubbing.
• Use it sparingly on clear photopolymer stamps, since repeated exposure can cause cloudiness over time.
• For everyday water-based inks, mild soap and water is gentler and just as effective.

Whatever cleaner you use, let the stamp dry fully before storing so no residue transfers to the next impression.
