I purchased a stampin mist refill months ago and just recently realized that it doesn't smell the same as all the other bottles I've bought over the years. Has SU! changed the formula?? I swear it smells like dish soap and it even foams like it (more so than just the rose-smelling formula does).
What's up? Has anyone else encountered this? Since it's been over 90 days I doubt SU! would do anything about it. I'm bummed. It doesn't seem to clean as well and it sure makes a mess of my scrubbing pads.
** So, okay I figured out how to narrow down my search and lo and behold I found others that also received bad stampin mist. Thanks everyone. I'm off to call SU!

I noticed a scentless Mist refill last fall and I don't think it works as well either.
I've mentioned it to ds at various times and have only gotten half hearted, shrugging and non-committal hems-and haws.
I haven't pursued it...returned and refund and all that - I'm just disinclined and I have a different brand from a friend with a wholesale stamping affiliation.
If it is defective when it is unscented I would feel vindicated.
next time I'll be more agressive! I'd be pro-active with a customers order, but at the time I was too busy with pre christmas camps.

I just noticed this last night with my bottle of Stampin' Mist. I think it smells exactly like "Nature's Miracle" - a cleaner for pet messes! I'm sure it's not this, but...
I got a new refill a couple months ago (evidently AFTER they changed their formula) and I think it STINKS! I can hardly stand the smell of it now! It was pleasant before, and didn't bother me at all. I cleans okay, but seems like I have to work a little harder, especially with darker colors.

I too cannot stand the new stampin mist. I returned the refill bottle to SU but the new one had the same foul odor. I cannot tolerate the smell. I feel ill after smelling it. Does anyone know of any good stamp cleaners from other companies?
I use Brawn brand Orange Cleaner $2.00 @ Wal-mart- put a couple drops in a 6 oz bottle of water - works super - gets the stamps very clean - even staz-on - (seeing that I can no longer fond the staz-on cleaner at any of the craft stores!) I bought a SU mist when I first started with SU ( last yr) - but could not justify the cost - to the cleaning results - so I happened to have a bottle of Generic Orange cleaner from the dollar store on hand and just love it!

I've found staz-on cleaner at hobby lobby for $2.99. It's the dab on kind, not spray. They also carry Ranger brand stamp cleaner in a spray bottle for $2.99-9.99 priced at 2 different stores) and it smells like bubble gum! I'll try the Brawn cleaner since it can do the job of both. thanks for the tip!
There was a post on one of my yahoo groups that told how to make a stamp cleaner. My friend and I tried it and so far it is working great. It does a great job cleaning my stamps.
Use an empty hairspray bottle
Put in 3 TBS Body Spray (try something that smells good to you)
Fill the rest of the bottle with room temp water.
Add 4-6 drops of dish detergent (soap).
Replace cap and shake gently (just a little)
I spray on my scrub like normal. I still plan on using the Stampin' Mist at w/s.
stampin mist--what's WRONG???
