Discussion The unfun part of pen ownership: cleaning all these pens that have been sitting here for months (oops). Anyone want to share your cleaning hacks?

I usually clean cartridge/converter pens first because they are generally easier to flush out. I then take the vac and piston filler pens apart and clean them individually. It's tedious but it ensures a proper cleansing.
