CLEAN YOUR TOOLS
A lot of gunk builds up on our scissors, blades and work surfaces over time. Just think of all the adhesives, sprays, inks and mediums we used to complete our projects, not to mention good old dust and dirt. A regular clean not only ensures that our projects stay nice and tidy, but also helps with the longevity and function of tools.
Although a weekly wipe over or dust is generally enough to keep things tidy, I suggest at least a six monthly deep clean with an alcohol based cleaner for more stubborn stains and build up. The alcohol will dissolve adhesive and most paints and is pretty good for de-gunking scissors as well. Don't forget your cutting mats and desk surface... but do test solvents and cleaners in an inconspicuous place if you have a surface that may be sensitive to chemicals.
