Resin Dice Care: Prevent Clouding and Stains

Quick answer

To prevent clouding and stains on your resin poly dice sets, clean them gently with mild soap and water, avoid harsh chemicals, and store them away from direct sunlight and heat.

How to care for your resin poly dice

1. 1. Prepare a gentle cleaning solution: Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and add a drop of mild dish soap. Avoid using hot water, alcohol, or acetone, which can cloud or damage the resin surface. Never use harsh cleaners—they can permanently ruin the dice finish.
2. 2. Clean each dice individually: Dip a soft cloth or microfiber towel into the soapy water and gently wipe each dice. For stubborn dirt, use a soft-bristled toothbrush. Rinse each dice under cool running water to remove all soap residue. Residue from soap can leave a film that mimics clouding—rinse thoroughly.
3. 3. Dry completely before storage: Pat each dice dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. Let them air-dry on a towel for 30 minutes to ensure no moisture remains. Moisture trapped in storage can cause hazy spots over time. Storing wet dice is a common cause of clouding—always dry fully.
4. 4. Store away from light and heat: Keep your resin dice in a padded dice tray or a fabric pouch inside a cool, dark drawer. Avoid windowsills, car dashboards, or near radiators, as UV rays and heat accelerate yellowing and clouding. Even indirect sunlight can discolor resin over months—choose a dark storage spot.
5. 5. Handle with clean hands: Wash your hands before rolling or handling dice to prevent transferring oils and lotions. For long gaming sessions, use a dice tray to minimize contact with skin. Skin oils are a primary cause of staining—clean hands keep dice clear.
