A practical care routine for liquid core dice: clean gently, store upright, and avoid heat so the glitter stays bright and the resin stays clear.

Quick answer

Clean liquid core dice with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, dry them fully, and store them upright in a padded container away from heat and sunlight. That routine protects the glittery core and keeps the resin clear.

Why liquid core dice need gentler handling than solid resin

Liquid core dice contain a small amount of fluid inside a resin shell. The shell can scratch, and the liquid inside can be affected by temperature extremes. That makes liquid core dice care different from caring for solid resin dice: you want to avoid abrasive cleaners, hot water, and long exposure to direct sun.

The glitter in Rainbow Dust dice is suspended in that liquid. If the dice are stored in a hot car or near a radiator, the resin may soften slightly and the liquid can expand, which is a risk you can avoid with simple storage habits.

The bubble is normal, not a cleaning failure

Elixir dice are handcrafted, and the molding process creates a small bubble inside the liquid core. That bubble moves when you roll, and it is not a sign that the dice are damaged or dirty. Cleaning cannot remove it, so don't scrub harder trying to make it disappear.

If you see the bubble settle in one spot during storage, a gentle roll will usually move it again. This is expected behavior for liquid core dice and does not affect rolling.

Step-by-step liquid core dice care

Clean with a soft, damp cloth: Wipe each die with a microfiber cloth dampened with plain water. For stubborn marks, add a drop of mild dish soap to the cloth, not directly to the die. Common mistake: using paper towels or rough cloths, which can dull the polished edges over time. Check the cloth for grit before wiping; a single grain of sand can scratch the resin.
Rinse and dry immediately: If you used soap, rinse the cloth and wipe the die again with clean water, then dry it right away with a dry microfiber cloth. Do not soak the dice or leave them wet. Common mistake: letting water sit on the dice, which can leave spots and weaken the surface over time. Dry the dice before putting them back in storage; trapped moisture can cloud the finish.
Store upright in a padded container: Keep dice in a dice bag with soft lining or a divided box so they don't knock against each other. Store the container upright or flat, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Common mistake: leaving dice loose in a bag with metal minis or keys, which can chip the edges. If you use a display case, make sure it is not in a sunny window; UV and heat are the main risks to the liquid core.
Avoid heat and harsh chemicals: Keep liquid core dice away from hot cars, radiators, and strong cleaning products like acetone or alcohol. Use only mild soap and water. Common mistake: using hand sanitizer or glass cleaner on the dice, which can attack the resin and cloud it. When in doubt, plain water is the safest cleaner for resin liquid core dice.
Check the bubble and roll gently: After cleaning and storage, give each die a gentle roll on a soft surface to move the bubble. Do not shake or throw the dice hard. Common mistake: assuming the bubble means the die is leaking; it is a normal result of the molding process. If the bubble seems stuck, a light roll usually frees it; if the liquid looks cloudy or the shell feels sticky, stop using that die and contact the maker.
