# Cleaning Clogged Nozzles

If you experience a clog in a nozzle, you may be able to clear it by cleaning.

{% hint style="info" %}
To prevent clogs, store the ink with the cap on, in an upright position in the refrigerator.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Here at Voltera, we use acetone and an ultrasonic cleaner to get nozzles unclogged:

If you don't have access to an ultrasonic cleaner, you can also try using an acetone bath, and occasionally agitating it. This method will take much longer than using an ultrasonic cleaner.

{% hint style="info" %}
Cleaning nozzles while the ink is still wet will be easier than trying to remove a dry clog.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
