Magnet Care: Stop Scratches & Keep Designs New

Quick answer

To keep your vinyl magnets from scratching, clean them gently with a damp cloth, avoid abrasive surfaces, and store them flat or in a padded container.

Frequently asked questions

How do I clean a vinyl magnet without scratching it?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water. If needed, add a drop of mild dish soap. Wipe gently in one direction, then dry with a separate cloth. Avoid paper towels, abrasive sponges, or chemical cleaners.

Can I put magnets on my car or laptop?

Yes, if the magnet is vinyl and weather-resistant (like the "This Can't Be Hell Magnet"). Remove it periodically to clean both the magnet and the surface. Avoid placing it on rough or textured paint. Check the magnet's label for weather resistance before outdoor use.

How should I store extra magnets to prevent scratches?

Store them flat in a drawer or box with a soft lining (felt or microfiber). If stacking, place a sheet of wax paper or a soft cloth between each magnet. Keep them away from keys, coins, or other hard objects. Never store magnets loose in a bag or bin where they can rub together.

What if a magnet already has a scratch?

Light surface scratches on vinyl can sometimes be minimized by gently rubbing the area with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. Deep scratches that reach the printed layer cannot be fixed. Prevention is the best approach.
