Questions & Answers

Will the cleaner last more than one use, or will I have to throw it away afterward?

Two fluid ounces is all you need. Typically, it will last you for a long time. You can reuse it after you've used it, but I recommend doing that only

How does it work? What are the main ingredients?

The two compounds are ammonia and water, according to my reading

Are acrylic inks able to be cleaned with it?

Since I don't know if it will clean acrylic inks, I cannot recommend it. However, I still couldn't get it to work effectively with my India ink dip pen. As well as smelling and feeling similar to Windex, it is also easy to use. It is not something I would spend money on

What can I use this product for? Can I use it to clean my rubber and silicone stamps without damaging ?

The Spruce Crafts would be the best option for you. What to do when rubber stamps are dirty. A wonderful place to buy metal pen nibs is Dr. Martin's. There's no guarantee that rubber and silicone will not be damaged by it.

Selected User Reviews For Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay Pen Cleaner, 2.0 oz

It is overpriced
3/5

In light of the fact that you can accomplish the same thing with ammonia and a little dish soap, this is ridiculously overpriced. There is no way the bottle could be as small as it is. ONE dollar is all I had to spend on a quart of ammonia.

I think it works like a charm! I was having difficulty getting ink to flow through my clogged fountain pen nib for several days, so I read about this product, and it has Using a narrow glass, I placed some of the ink in the middle, soaked the pen nib for 15 seconds, rinsing it well under warm running water, and I was ready to use it
5/5

Pen cleaners work so well, I can't believe how well they work. As long as I have it on hand at my desk, I'll never be without it.

It does a great job! was looking to refurbish some old fountain pens and speedball pen nibs that I had from the 1970s (yes, I'm old)
5/5

As a result, I used this to clean the nibs and other parts of the fountain pens that were covered in dried Previously, I had tried home solutions and ink out of some of the nibs, but after seeing this on a website, I decided to give it a try. It worked very well on the things I had not yet cleaned. I got more ink out of the things I had cleaned. Therefore, I will keep a bottle near at hand at all times.

India ink that's been cured will soften after using this
5/5

India ink will soften over the next few days. While it still takes some elbow grease to clean nibs and pens, this way is much more effective than any of the other methods I have used for clearing cured.

DOES THE JOB! A caked-up film covered the tip of my pen
5/5

It was so much easier to clean after soaking in a little of this (enough to submerge it). Your help is greatly appreciated! . . . Chadwick Boseman - a badass in Wakanda

It does not include a list of what's in it, which makes it ineffective
3/5

The fact that there is no list of the contents of the product is annoying to me. I prefer to use warm water and dishwashing liquid when I clean glass. It smells like a popular glass cleaner, but it doesn't work as well as boiling water. This is not something I would recommend.

I really like it
5/5

It is my pleasure to write with the inks of Dr Ph Martin, except that I managed to get some on my finger. As a result of using this cleaner, dried ink was easily removed and my skin was left feeling smooth.

I love it
5/5

I really like this My pen nibs were not only cleaned, but I also removed old ink that I thought was stained on them! Excellent product, the quantity I used was not even necessary to achieve a great result! Will definitely buy again when the need arises!.
