Learn the best way to clean and maintain your enamel dice sets, including the Gold with Green/Purple Enamel Set, to keep them looking great for years.
Quick Answer
Clean enamel dice with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid soaking or using harsh chemicals to protect the enamel finish.
Why Enamel Dice Need Special Care
Enamel dice have a painted or filled surface that can chip or fade if treated roughly. Unlike solid resin or acrylic dice, the enamel layer is delicate and requires gentle cleaning methods to preserve its color and shine.
Metal dice with enamel detailing, like the Gold with Green/Purple Enamel Set, combine a heavy zinc core with a polished nickel plating. While the metal is durable, the enamel inlays need extra attention to avoid scratches or discoloration.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Do not soak enamel dice in water or cleaning solutions. Prolonged moisture can seep under the enamel and cause it to lift or bubble. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, alcohol-based wipes, and ultrasonic cleaners, which can damage the finish.
Always roll enamel dice on a padded surface like a dice tray. Hard surfaces can chip the enamel or scratch the metal plating over time.
How to Clean Your Enamel Dice Sets
- 1. Prepare a Gentle Cleaning Solution: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with lukewarm water in a small bowl. Do not use hot water, as it can weaken the enamel bond.
- 2. Wipe Each Die Individually: Dip a soft, lint-free cloth into the soapy water and wring it out until barely damp. Gently wipe each die, focusing on the enamel recesses. Avoid rubbing too hard on the painted areas. Never submerge the dice in water. A damp cloth is enough to remove dirt and oils.
- 3. Rinse with a Separate Damp Cloth: Use a second clean cloth dampened with plain water to wipe away any soap residue. Work quickly and do not let water pool on the dice.
- 4. Dry Immediately and Thoroughly: Pat each die dry with a soft, dry cloth. Make sure no moisture remains in the enamel crevices. Let the dice air-dry on a towel for 10 minutes before storing. Leftover moisture is the top cause of enamel damage. Double-check the recesses.
- 5. Store in a Padded Container: Keep your enamel dice in a soft pouch or padded dice tray away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This prevents fading and protects the enamel from scratches. A dedicated dice bag or box with individual compartments is ideal for avoiding contact between dice.
