To care for your blender pencil, sharpen it regularly to maintain its blending tip. Store it in a pencil case or holder to protect the lead from damage. Avoid dropping the pencil, which could damage the core. Make sure to clean the pencil of colored pencil residue after each use. A soft cloth will do the trick.
