Those hand sanitizers are alcohol based - they'll clean the stamps, but
they're really bad for the rubber. Use them for long and you'll wind up
with hard, brittle stamps.

This makes me wonder if there is some kind of rubber "conditioner" on
the market anywhere, such that if you need to use something alcohol
based once in a while, you can go ahead and clean the stamp, then
condition the rubber so that it doesn't dry out. Anyone know if there's
anything like a rubber conditioner on the market?

I use a product called Permanent Ink Cleaner and Stamp Reconditioner. It
works very well with the Staz On pads and even cleans up the older ink on
stamps fairly well. I purchased it from Creative Images (www.cistamps.com).
