Quick answer
Clean your resin flash dice with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then store them in a padded tray or individual slots away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Why resin flash dice need special care
Resin flash dice contain reflective flakes that catch the light, making them pop at the table. The clear resin body is durable but can scratch or haze if cleaned with harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Proper care keeps the flakes visible and the dice rolling smoothly for years.
Common mistakes to avoid
Don't soak resin dice in water or cleaning solutions—moisture can seep into cracks or cloud the surface. Avoid storing them loose in a bag with metal dice, as metal edges can scratch the resin. Heat above 120°F can warp resin, so never leave dice in a car or near a radiator.
Step-by-step cleaning and storage guide
- 1. Prepare your cleaning supplies: Grab a soft microfiber cloth (no paper towels—they can scratch), a small bowl of lukewarm water, and a drop of mild dish soap. Avoid alcohol, acetone, or any abrasive cleaners. Checkpoint: If the cloth feels rough on your skin, it's too harsh for the dice.
- 2. Wipe each die individually: Dampen the cloth with the soapy water (wring it out until barely moist), then gently wipe each die face and edge. Pay extra attention to number grooves where dirt collects. Rinse the cloth with clean water and wipe again to remove soap residue. Checkpoint: Don't rub hard—resin can develop micro-scratches if you scrub aggressively.
- 3. Dry completely before storing: Lay the dice on a dry microfiber cloth or a clean towel. Let them air dry for 10–15 minutes, turning once. Make sure every die is bone-dry before putting them away—trapped moisture can cause cloudiness. Checkpoint: If you see water spots, buff gently with a dry microfiber cloth.
- 4. Store in a padded container: Place each die in a padded dice tray, a felt-lined box, or individual slots in a dice case. Keep them separate from metal dice to avoid scratches. Store the container in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Checkpoint: A silicone or foam insert prevents dice from rattling against each other during transport.
- 5. Clean only when needed: Resin flash dice don't need frequent cleaning—only when they look dull or feel greasy. Over-cleaning can wear down the surface over time. A quick wipe with a dry cloth after each session is usually enough to keep them fresh. Checkpoint: If you play weekly, a full clean every 3–4 months is plenty.
