Maintenance

Simple care, just rinse in water

The best part about dip pens is that they require minimal maintenance compared to other ink-writing tools. Pens with ink reservoirs, such as fountain pens and rollerball pens, can clog from dried ink on nibs if left unused for extended periods. With dip pens, you ink and clean them as needed. While this takes a little effort each time, it involves just three simple steps.

Rinse with water

Dip the nib in water to rinse off the ink.

Dry thoroughly

Remove moisture to help prevent rust, particularly with brass nibs.

Detach the nib

Detach the nib to keep the base free from rust. Also recommended during storage.

Ink stains from prolonged use can be cleaned with a pH-neutral detergent and a gentle scrub using a toothbrush.
