How do you clean a pelikan pen?

To clean a Pelikan fountain pen, start by removing the barrel and gently rinsing the nib section under cool, running water. Use a bulb syringe or the pen’s piston mechanism to flush water through the feed until it runs clear. If ink residue persists, soak the nib section in a cup of water for a few hours, changing the water as needed. For stubborn clogs, add a drop of pen-safe cleaner. Pelikan pens are piston-fillers, so avoid disassembling unless you’re experienced or using professional service. Once clean, allow all parts to dry completely before reassembling and refilling. Regular cleaning every 4–6 weeks keeps the ink flowing smoothly and extends the life of your pen. Proper care ensures your Pelikan pen performs beautifully for years to come.
