How to Care for Metal, Resin, Gemstone, and Acrylic Dice

Good dice can last a long time with simple care. The right routine depends on the material, but the main ideas are the same: keep dice dry, avoid harsh impact, store sets separately, and roll heavier dice on a protected surface.

Use a tray or soft rolling surface

A dice tray is especially helpful for metal and gemstone-style dice. It reduces noise, keeps rolls contained, and helps protect both the dice and the table. If you do not have a tray, a soft mat or padded surface is better than bare wood, glass, stone, or tile.

Care for metal dice

Metal dice feel substantial and durable, but they can still damage softer surfaces or show wear if they are stored loosely with other hard objects. Keep them in a pouch, case, or separate compartment. Wipe with a soft dry cloth after use, especially if they have been handled for a long session.

Care for resin dice

Resin dice are loved for color, depth, shimmer, and internal effects. Avoid high heat, prolonged direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a soft cloth. If needed, use a lightly damp cloth and dry the dice fully before storage.

Care for gemstone-style dice

Gemstone-style dice are often chosen for collectible presentation. They may chip if dropped onto hard surfaces, so careful handling matters. Roll them in a tray, store each set separately, and avoid carrying them loose in a bag with metal items, keys, or other dice.

Care for acrylic dice

Acrylic dice are practical everyday sets. They are lightweight and easy to carry, but they can still scratch over time if stored loosely. Keep them in a pouch and wipe away dust or fingerprints with a soft cloth.

Safety and storage notes

Dice and tabletop accessories can be small, heavy, pointed, or decorative. Keep them away from young children and pets. Store dice in a dry place, avoid extreme temperatures, and check for damage before use.

A simple care routine

  • Roll heavy dice on a tray or soft mat.
  • Keep sets separated when possible.
  • Wipe dice with a soft dry cloth after use.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals, high heat, and long direct sunlight.
  • Store dice away from young children and pets.
