cleaning versamark

[SuG]

I have been using a rubber only (no foam mount) flourish with versamark. It is a mess. will soap and water clean this off or is there a better idea?

can't say i have ever heard of kiss off! great name though. I was trying to get the whole stamp clean. It seems when I use versamark the unraised portion of the stamp stays sticky forever and it is always a mess. I wasn't sure if water and soap would do anything for the versamark though. I will use the stamp cleaner if no one else chimes in with another idea.
next time i am at the grocery store I will have to look for kiss off though.

Instead of rubbing the Versamark-encrusted stamp on a pad cleaner, I spray the cleaning solution onto the stamp, let it sit just a couple of moments, and then brush it with an old soft toothbrush. Repeat as necessary.

I use it to get ink stays out of laundry. Somebody in our family is always getting ink on their clothes

Shampoo works great to clean up Versamark.

Baby wipes seem to work fine for me with Versamark.

I was going to say baby wipes, or general stamp cleaner & toothbrush.I also bought a cheap paint pad, and use that as a stamp scrubber.

i ended up using Method soap (grapefruit, if anyone cares) and an old toothbrush. I find versamark to be such a sticky mess. My stamps never seem the same after using vmark. And I don't think the stamp cleaner works very well getting it out of the crevices, also it always gets dirtier.
the soap and tooth brush worked wonders! This well loved stamp has never looked to clean.

I am still going to get the kiss off, because someone here always gets ink on her clothes too. (no names will be mentioned.)

I've used VersaMark ink for years and all the time, and I've have never had a problem with it building up on my stamps. I use the SU! Stampin' Mist and scrub pad religiously.
Good luck!
