WHAT IS COMIC CLEANING?

In addition to pressing, comic book cleaning is an essential step in improving a book’s overall appearance and grade potential. At CaptCan Comics, we use refined dry-cleaning techniques to safely remove surface dirt, grime, pencil marks, and minor soiling from your comics — all without liquids or harsh chemicals. This process helps restore vibrancy, sharpens presentation, and enhances eye appeal without triggering restoration labels from grading companies like CGC.

Cleaning is always performed before pressing to ensure no debris interferes with the process. A clean surface allows for smoother, more even pressing results and minimizes the risk of embedding particles into the paper. While it won’t fix deep stains, ink marks, or tears, cleaning is one of the most effective ways to prep your book for pressing and maximize its final outcome..
