Storage:

• Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the markers from drying out.
• Store markers horizontally in their original recyclable box at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your markers.

Marker Appears Dry:

• Ensure the cap was securely replaced after the last use.
• If the marker tip appears dry, try gently pressing it onto a piece of scrap paper for a few seconds to encourage ink flow.
• If the marker remains dry, it may have reached the end of its lifespan and should be replaced.

Stains on Surfaces:

• While markers are washable from most surfaces, immediate cleaning is recommended.
• For non-porous surfaces, wipe immediately with a damp cloth.
• For porous surfaces, washability may vary. Test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
