How do you clean playing cards?

Question

Always wanted to know how to keep cards from sticking to each other and how to get the crud off the sides. It's OK if they stay worn in. I just want to have them cleaned without smudging the ink.

Answer 1

wipe them off with a little soapy damp rag, dry then use a little baby powder sprinkled on them to make them stop sticking.

Answer 2

Answer 3

just buy a new pack
