When felt-tip pens and markers dry up, the question arises: is it possible to do something about this so as not to throw them away?

Today we will share the simple advicehow to reanimate your favorite markers so you can keep using them.

You will need:

  • clean water or vinegar 
  • water tank
  • clean dry towel 
  • stationery

Instructions:

  1. Prepare a work container for work, pour one glass of warm water into it.
  2. If there is no warm water at hand, then you can take cold water. However, in hot water, ink dissolves much faster.
  3. Remove the caps from the markers and dip them into the water with the tips. Make sure they are completely immersed in liquid. Leave them in this position for 5 minutes.
  4. Pull the markers out of the water. Wait for the water to drain, transfer them to a dry cloth. The tip of the felt-tip pen should be free from moisture. Check it every hour - try writing with a felt-tip pen on paper. If there are no water streaks along the colored line, then the marker is suitable for drawing.

  5. To avoid quick drying of the markers, be sure to replace the caps immediately after use. If the child has lost them, then tie a piece of the bag around the tip of the marker, fix the edges with a clerical elastic band.
  6. You can use table vinegar instead of water. You can also dip the marker in liquid and then dry.
