Don’t forget to wash your blocks.

It’s Technique Tuesday! With any good technique you need good tools. And every so often you need to do a little maintenance or cleaning.

A couple of weeks ago I talked about making sure to tighten your bolts on your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Well, today I want to talk to you about washing your blocks.

You grab your blocks over and over again. They get adhesive, ink, skin oils, and more on them. So once in a while they need to be deep cleaned. If you notice that they have a film to them then it’s time for a dunk. Fill your sink with some warm water and dawn dish soap and give them a soak. You will want the water to just cover the blocks. Give it a couple of minutes and then rinse and dry. When drying make sure to dry with something as lint free as possible.

In between washing them you can spot clean with a microfiber cloth (like what you use for your glasses) and some hand sanitizer.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,
