Method for cleaning brush

Cleaning brushes is an important way to maintain them. Generally, the brush should be cleaned once a day, and the nib should be capped when not in use. But in the past, cleaning the brush was a troublesome and time-consuming thing for me.

It turns out that when I clean the brush, I first fill the washbasin with water, and then put the pen in it to clean it. Or rinse with tap water. In this way, the ink will get on the washbasin and hands. After washing the pen, wash the basin and hands again.

Cleaning brushes also need innovation. Although the patent of automatic brush cleaner has been introduced online, the related products have not yet come out. Let's find our own way.

I found such a method and share it with you. Connect half a bottle of tap water with an open bottle the size of a fist (pictured above). Throw the pen in your hand, drown the pen, swing or rotate quickly left and right, back and forth. The pen holder can gently touch the bottle wall. Then pour out the water (if you pour it into the sewer pipe in the basin, pour it slowly like oil into a bottle to prevent the ink from polluting the basin), replace it with clean water, and then wipe the brush clean. Repeat this several times until the pen is clean. Finally, pour out the water, wash the bottle and put it away for use next time.

This small round bottle is like a roller brush. After washing the brush, hands, pots and bottles are not stained with ink, which is convenient and quick, saving time and effort.
