Hi pen friends! In this video, I’m testing a super cheap DIY hack for removing tarnish and bringing back that shiny look on a fountain pen—because nothing hurts more than seeing a once-pretty finish look dull and tired. I use a jewelry cleaning cloth (the kind you can easily find online) and try it out to see if it actually makes a noticeable difference, or if it’s one of those “too good to be true” shortcuts. I walk you through what I do, what I notice as I’m cleaning, and whether the results feel worth it for regular pen people like us. If you’ve ever wondered if you can safely clean up a pen at home without buying a pricey specialty product, this is exactly the kind of quick experiment you’ll want to watch. I also share an Amazon link to a similar cloth in case you want to try the same method yourself, and I’d love to hear what you’ve used to clean or polish your pens at home.
