Expertly designed by the team at Private Reserve to remove the old and stubborn build-up in fountain pens.

Step 1: Disassemble the Fountain Pen

• Carefully unscrew the barrel and separate the nib and feed from the pen's section. If your pen has a cartridge or converter, remove it as well.
• Note: If your pen's warranty does not permit disassembly, consult the manufacturer's cleaning instructions.

Step 2: Measure the Pen Flush

• Use the measuring cup from the kit to pour the full cup of pen flush.
• Ensure you're measuring on a flat surface for accuracy.

Step 3: Clean with the Brush

• Dip the brush from the kit into the pen flush in the measuring cup.
• Gently scrub the feed, nib, and other components to remove ink residue. Avoid applying too much pressure to prevent damage.

Step 4: Soak the Pen Components (optional)

• Pour the measured pen flush into a small bowl or container.
• Submerge the disassembled pen components (excluding plastic or sensitive parts) into the pen flush and let them soak for a few minutes. This will help break down stubborn ink residues.

Step 5: Use the Pipette for Targeted Cleaning

• Draw pen flush into the pipette from the measuring cup.
• Carefully apply pen flush to hard-to-reach areas, such as the inside of the feed or the ink channels. This step is especially useful for thorough cleaning.

Step 6: Rinse with Clean Water

• After cleaning with the pen flush, rinse all pen components with clean, lukewarm water. This will remove any residual cleaning solution.
• Ensure you rinse thoroughly to avoid any lingering pen flush.

Step 7: Dry the Pen Components

• Gently pat the pen components with a lint-free cloth or paper towels to remove excess water.
• Allow all parts to air-dry completely before reassembling the pen.

Step 8: Reassemble the Fountain Pen

• Once all parts are completely dry, reassemble the pen in the correct order.
• Make sure everything is secure but not overly tight.

Step 9: Test the Fountain Pen

• Test your pen on a piece of paper to ensure the ink flows smoothly. This will confirm that the cleaning process was successful.
