Hi! Does anyone have tips for removing ink stains from poly clear stamps? I've tried Dawn dishwashing liquid, with no luck. The ink in question is Hero Arts Ombré Mermaid. It’s a dye based ink. Thanks for any help you can provide!
photopolymer stamps stain. Once inked they will be stained.

I think it is the color. Some colors stain the stamps. Reds, dark green, and sometimes real dark blue are the colors I use that will stain my stamps. I just wash real good, like you are doing, and continue using them. Call them well loved!

I, too have “lowered my standards” and continue using. Except for the stain, all is good!

I agree, and I'll add that certain brands of black ink have stained mine badly. I still use them, though, and the ink doesn't transfer. They are certainly "well loved."

Sometimes I wish mine did have ink on them so I could see what they say better! I have thought about inking the clear stamps with black ink like Stazon or India ink. Would other inking stain them on top of the black ink?

I think removing Stazon ink would be detrimental to your clear stamps due to the harshness of the cleaner. I think you can stain them with red or dark green ink. Maybe pigment black.
I recently purchased Brutus Monroe Detail Ink in Raven. It stamps beautifully and you can color with alcohol markers or it’s waterproof when dry. (Stamps detail well.)
It stains photopolymer even if you clean it immediately.
I just rinse mine under warm running water and then blot dry. They come perfectly clean and I havent ruined them! I also run mine under water water and use soap if needed. I also have a cleaner from Stampin' Up that works great.
