FAQ's - Stamp Cleaners
 
I’m confused about the different types of rubber stamp cleaners available. Can you explain each one and what it is used for?

Ranger manufactures four types of stamp cleaners and each has a specific cleaning purpose.

Water-based Cleaners are used to clean water-based dye and pigment inks from stamps. Ranger makes two water-based cleaners. The Water-based Stamp Cleaner in a 4 oz. spray bottle with a bubble gum scent is sprayed directly on a stamp to clean off inks. It can also be sprayed on our Rub It Scrub It pad for cleaning stamps using the pad.

Ranger also makes Water-based Stamp Cleaner in a 2 oz. bottle with a dabber top to dab directly on stamps to clean off inks. Water-based Stamp Cleaners are non-toxic.

Ranger Cleans It All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner was developed to clean all types of inks off of rubber stamp surfaces: dye inks, pigment inks, and solvent based inks. This cleaner is recommended for cleaning Ranger Archival Ink from rubber stamps. For cleaning solvent inks, the cleaner should be applied to the rubber stamp for 1 minute before rubbing off. This cleaner is acid-free and non-toxic.

Ranger Perfect Polymer Stamp Cleaner with a dabber top is used to clean water-based ink and water-resistant ink from clear (photo polymer) stamps. Allow 15 seconds for the cleaner to remove water-based ink and 60 seconds for water-resistant ink. Acid-free and non-toxic.

Ranger Solvent Stamp Cleaner with a dabber top is recommended specifically for solvent-based inks such as Ranger Décor It ink. After using the Solvent Stamp Cleaner, rubber stamps should be rinsed with water or a water-based stamp cleaner to protect the rubber.
