Tool Maintenance

It is essential for us to provide regular care and maintenance to our papercrafting tools.

Once a month I do the following:

1.  Papercutter- remove any residue ( adhesive) and clean with mild dish soap and water and dry with a soft cloth.  Make sure the blade is completely dry ( I sit mine in front of a fan for ten minutes)


2.  Scoring Board- remove any residue or marks with a mild dish soap and warm water.  Dry well ( again, I put mine in front of fan for 10 min to get all the grooves completely dried)


3.  Scissors- use goo gone to make sure they are clean and then wash in mild dish soap and warm water.  Dry well with soft cloth ( fan 10 minutes)


4.  Acryllic Blocks- wash in warm water with mild dish soap to remove all residues ( including Stampin Mist)  Dry with a soft cloth.


4.  Paper piercer, tweezers etc- clean with goo gone, wash in warm soapy water and dry well ( fan 10 minutes)


5.  Big Shot plates- wash in warm soapy water and dry with a soft cloth.


Doing regular maintenance on your tools will ensure adequate cling for your blocks, and clean longlasting tools for many years to come.
