## Description

This 50ml bottle of cleaning solution effectively removes dried ink and residue, restoring smooth ink flow and allowing you to easily change colors without waste.

Review: Excellent Product - I have owned a Parker Centennial Duofold for 30 yrs, which over the last 10yrs has had very little use. Every now and again I have dug it out in the hope that 'this clean' will finally make it a pleasure to write with again. Each time has had no effect. It still remained 'scratchy' with intermittent ink flow, meaning having to use the plunger to squeeze a little ink out, all god for 5 minutes and then same again. Now I do know the tricks to filling, especially leaving it nib down after filling for a while to let ink migrate to the nib, all to no avail. Came across this by mistake and thought why not. Now don't get me wrong, it is expensive, but not as expensive as the pen, or the cost of sending it away to be 'sorted', or to buy a replacement no matter how cheap. Anyway, bit the bullet even taking some of the reviews 'with a pinch of salt' as to it's effectiveness, but, wow is the only comment I can make. Left filled with fluid for an hour, cleaned with cold water, dried thoroughly then refilled and it really is like I remember when new. Beautifully smooth, no scratching (even with fine nib) consistent ink flow etc. I seriously doubt if Parker themselves could have serviced it better. So, in conclusion to me it is worth every penny and then some, would I use it on a 'cheaper' pen, definitely, as no matter how much a new pen will cost, this still works out cheaper. No to mention with a fountain pen there is a certain amount of 'bedding in' to your style of writing that you would have to go through again. Hope this helps, and yes I did buy it, it wasn't a freebie in exchange for a positive review :-)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do use this product with Fountain Pens??**
A: Rinse pen with cold water to remove old ink. Put this cleaning fluid in egg cup and fill pen as normal. Leave for 5 to 10 min then rinse with cold water. Ink residues from reservoir/bladder and nib will be removed.

**Q: Will this clean dried acrylic pen nibs please. TIA**
A: (Just my opinion: no guarantees).  Herbin cleaner is, I think, designed for fountain pens and their ink and works well there.  I'm not sure how good it would be for dried acrylic ink.  A search for 'acrylic ink cleaner' will turn up several products which might work, however.

**Q: Will this work on my Rotring isograph?**
A: The answer is:  maybe.  If you already have some Herbin fluid, it's worth a try.
Otherwise, Rotring make a cleaner for drawing pens:

**Q: Can this be used with Cross fountain pens?**
A: Not sure about Cross pens. I have used with Parker Sheaffer and Dryden only. As long as it is only the nib up to the collar that  was dipped it was fine. Tipped extra solution into a clear plastic cup and it turned opaque.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful product.

Arrived on due date. J Hebrin 50 ml Cleaning Solution for Fountain Pen. A bit pricey for the size of the bottle. But it does work my fountain pens are cleaner and write's better. I use a lot of different colours so it's great to clean the coloured ink out without leaving a trace of the previous colour. But I will have to use it sparingly.
