How To Clean And Store Felt Tip Pens

19th Dec 2023

Felt tip pens need cleaning and storing to last longer. Discover straightforward tips with practical techniques in this simple guide. 

How to Clean Felt Tip Pens: 8 Basic Tips

Cleaning felt tip pens and keeping them pristine is a breeze with these straightforward steps:

#1. Taking action immediately

Act swiftly when a mishap occurs. The faster you address it, the easier the cleanup.

#2. Blotting paper technique

Dab the pen gently on blotting paper to absorb excess ink. Avoid rubbing – instead a gentle touch works wonders.

#3. Water rinsing

Rinse the tip under cool, running water. Gently rub the stained area with your fingers to release the ink.

#4. Using mild soap

For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of mild soap to the stained area. Gently rub, then rinse thoroughly.

#5. Patience with stains

Some stains may need time. Soak the tip in water for a few hours, allowing the ink to dissolve.

#6. Regular maintenance

Prevent buildup by regularly cleaning your felt tip pens, even if not visibly stained. This helps maintain optimal performance.

#7. Capping

Always cap your pens when not in use to prevent drying and reduce the chances of stains.

#8. Testing on scrap

Before using a new color, test it on scrap paper to avoid unexpected color interactions and potential messes.

How to Store Felt Tip Pens Properly

Keeping your felt tip pens in top-notch condition is easy with these straightforward storage tips. 

#1. Keeping the cap on

Always cap your felt tip pens when not in use. This simple step prevents drying and maintains ink freshness.

#2. Horizontal storage

Store your pens horizontally to distribute the ink evenly. This helps prevent one side from drying out faster than the other.

#3. Following the ‘Cool and Dry’ rule

Choose a cool, dry storage spot away from direct sunlight. Heat and sunlight can impact the ink quality.

#4. Using pen organizers

Consider a pen organizer or case to keep your pens neatly arranged and easily accessible.

#5. Maintaining the room temperature

Maintain a moderate room temperature for your pens. Extreme temperatures can affect ink consistency.

#6. Separating by pen color

If you have a variety of colors, consider storing pens by color family. This makes finding the right shade a breeze.

#7. Consistent maintenance

Regularly check and clean the pen caps to avoid any dried ink that may compromise a good seal.
