If you’re a writer, you know that dip pen nibs can be a real pain to clean. Here’s how to do it easily and effectively:

  1. Fill a small bowl with warm water and mild soap.
  2. Dip the nib of your dip pen into the water and soap, making sure to get all of the ink off.
  3. Rinse the nib thoroughly in fresh water, then dry it off with a paper towel.
  4. If necessary, apply a little bit of oil to the tip of the nib to help it write smoothly again. ..
