How to Clean Your Gelli® Plate


Cleaning. Not the most interesting topic, and not one I usually give much thought to, but my Gelli® plates are in a really bad way! They've had lots of use lately in kids workshops and experiments. One had graphite stuck to it which I couldn't get off with anything. Perhaps you have the same problem? Here is the solution: baby oil.


Who knows what it's doing to skin if it removes paint and ink and graphite so well! Just rub a generous amount onto the plate with kitchen paper, adding more as needed until the stain is gone and then rinse with liquid soap.
