This special fountain pen cleaner is designed to safely clean your fountain pen after using pigmented inks.  The Octopus Write and Draw Cleaner supports the cleaning of your sensitive writing instruments. The use of pigmented, waterproof inks in fountain pens requires diligent care of these sensitive writing instruments. When using dye-based inks, fountain pens can be cleaned with relatively little effort even after very long periods of use.

When using pigmented inks, however, you should take care not to allow any residue to dry in the fountain pen, as this can usually only be removed by mechanical cleaning with the aid of aggressive cleaning agents. To prevent this, we recommend that you always clean your fountain pens thoroughly after use. To achieve a better cleaning effect than with clear water, we have developed the Write & Draw Cleaner. The Write and Draw Special Cleaner contains only mild cleaning substances so that steel or gold nibs, ink convertors or brush bristles are not affected. In the case of nibs with coloured coatings, these may come off if additional mechanical cleaning is carried out. It is recommended to test this on an inconspicuous area first. 

This special fountain pen cleaner dissolves the colour pigments as well as the binder contained in the Write and Draw inks and thus ensures residue-free cleaning of your writing instruments. It is suitable for fountain pens, calligraphy nibs, brushes and glass nibs. If necessary, you can also leave the ink cleaner to work overnight. 

Just like the Write and Draw drawing inks, the Special Cleaner is made exclusively from vegan ingredients.
