How should I clean and store my brush after use?

Use only water to clean the brush.

Since the bristles are made from animal hair, soap will damage them.

Rinse with water and gently reshape the tip. Always use room-temperature water — hot water will damage the brush.

Gently swish the brush back and forth in a jar of water.

Once the water turns cloudy, discard it and repeat the process.

Soaking the brush for extended periods will cause the bristles to shed.

Finally, wipe the brush in one direction, from base to tip, using a paper towel or soft cloth.

If you forget to clean the brush and the ink dries, rinse it under running water.

To preserve the brush's performance and lifespan, dry the tip carefully.

Water reaching the base can weaken the adhesive and cause bristles to shed.

After rinsing, hang the brush with the tip pointing downward to dry.
