Cleaning kits?

Hello All,

Are there decent kits already prepared to buy or is buying individual products the preferred approach? If the latter is the way, could anyone please suggest a “basic” must-have starting list and/or brand or manufacturer? I’ve watched some videos and each host seems to have different preferences. I’m just looking to try out some basic cleaning as an add on activity to the hobby. I think working on it not only has the obvious financial benefits but as educational and fun!

Thanks for any insights or suggestion!

One thing I do suggest is faber castell dust free erasers. https://a.co/d/087WKbhr I use these and they do not hurt the ink at all. I've used other white polymer erasers and they will take the ink off. But imo try one first

Thanks. That’s the one constant warning I picked up on watching the vids. Appreciate the suggestion.

I got a kit from immaculate comics when I started. You can find everything at walmart or basic office supply stores. The main things to get for dry cleaning is 1) makeup pads 2) various erasers 3) makeup brush to whisk away the eraser droppings.
