CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#127) Die Cutter Cleaning?

Say what?

I know...sounds odd but I wanted to share a little tip about how I clean my die cutting machine.

By cleaning, I mean mostly removing dust, lint, paper pulp, residue & debris that may get stuck in my die cutting machine, computer & other crafty tools.

On the surface, I use a damp microfiber cloth. Those look like this:

In the crevices, I use compressed air. You know, the cans of air used to remove dust & lint off of keyboards & computers. It works well for your die cutting machines too. In fact, you can use it on any of your machines that may collect dust & lint or where paper pulp & pieces may get trapped.

In case you're wondering, they look like this:



You can find them in stores like Wal-mart, Target, Office Max, Staples, Big Lots & more.

Hope you give this a try if you find you are having trouble with dust, lint, paper residue on your tools or work surfaces.
