Maintain your stencil brushes by gently cleaning them with water and mild dish soap, taking care not to splay the bristles. Proper drying is essential to keep the bristles straight.

Gently clean scrapbook albums with a damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents to prevent damage to the album’s materials.

9. Cleaning Your Glass Media Mat and Silicone Craft Mat:

Clean glass media mats with water for water-based mediums and hand sanitizer for tougher substances. Use warm soapy water to clean silicone craft mats, and wipe away particles promptly to prevent staining.

Proper cleaning and maintenance of your crafting tools and materials help ensure they remain in excellent condition, allowing you to enjoy crafting without worrying about the mess.
