6. Care and Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity of your dot markers:

• Recap After Use: Always replace the cap firmly after each use to prevent the sponge tip from drying out.
• Cleaning Skin and Clothes: If ink gets on skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. For stubborn stains on fabric, pre-treat and wash as usual.
• Storage: Store markers upright at room temperature to maintain ink flow and prevent leakage.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Marker Not Flowing: If a marker seems dry or the ink isn't flowing, shake it gently and press the tip firmly onto a piece of scrap paper several times until the ink saturates the sponge.
• Ink Running/Bleeding: Dot markers work best on thicker paper. If ink is running or bleeding through, try using cardstock or specialized dot art paper.
• Cap Difficult to Remove/Replace: Ensure the cap is aligned correctly before pushing it on. If it's too tight for a child, an adult may need to assist.
