# 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. 
{% 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 %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.voltera.io/docs/v-one/troubleshooting/no-ink-or-paste-comes-out/cleaning-clogged-nozzles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
