(edit) - UPDATE As noted below, this product worked well for us. However, it can't make an old printer young. Besides clogged heads, there are several parts on an older printer that can go bad, or get fouled, or otherwise go wrong. I think we ran into that fact, soon after writing that earlier review. So, it was great at first, but we probably only got a few weeks of normal printing before it started going bad again. At that point, cleaning with this product did not help anymore. Clearly the printer needed more fixing or maintenance than we could do, and given its age, there was no point even dreaming about repair. At present it is relegated to scanning only and we had to buy a new (laser) printer. I'd still recommend this cleaning kit, though, because it does work. And your printer may not have the other issues we ran into, especially if it is younger. Just keep expectations in perspective. ----- ORIGINAL REVIEW This kit worked well on a Brother MFC J-6920DW. Recently, in the middle of a project it suddenly stopped printing any color. Several cycles of head cleaning and test prints emptied the ink but did not help. Replacing all four cartridges did not help. Internet searches came up with various solutions, one with canned air. That did nothing for us but make a huge mess. I do not recommend it! Eventually I found this kit and others like it. The reviews, and the vendor’s helpful hints and video (and guarantee) made us choose this. Here are the tips that helped make it work for us, on this model printer. 1) Use the long tube not the short one. Besides needing it for the cleaning, you will also need this tube to load the syringe with cleaning fluid, since the syringe won’t fit in the bottle. The tube is a tight fit onto the syringe, which is a good thing. Be patient. 2) Warm up the whole bottle of fluid, not just the syringe. That way you can leave the tube on the syringe and skip using the cap; plus, if you need to reload, the fluid is already warm. 3) On this printer the clearance is tight, and it will be hard to mount the cleaning tube onto the printer ink fittings using your fingers. Use long-nose pliers or similar tool to hold the end of the flexible tube and push it well onto each of the printer’s ink intake fittings. It will be a tight fit – which is good, it will prevent leaks. Again, be patient. 4) The kit included “blotter paper” but no instructions for it. We just used paper towel, two layers folded, under the printer head. This made a tight fit when sliding the print head over it, but soaked up all the ink and fluid. It might be better to use one layer folded, to give the head more clearance even if it might leave a little cleanup afterward. You want to avoid damaging the head and nozzles! 5) I moved the head a couple of inches a little after cleaning each color, over a clean section of paper. Besides keeping one spot on the towel from over-saturating, this also made it easier to see when each color ink was being successfully flushed out. 6) I removed all four cartridges before starting, but did not bother cleaning the black ink tube since it had been working okay. This was a gamble, but turned out to be correct in our situation. 7) I cleaned out the entire cartridge area, especially drying any remaining ink or fluid, before reinserting the cartridges. 8) Right after reinstalling the ink, I did a test print, and saw color again. After that, I ran three regular cleaning cycles and test prints. The coverage actually decreased at first, which I think was fluid or air being purged from the lines, but then improved again and by the third round the test print was normal. 9) Checking it a day later, I think I notice a couple of recurring blank squares in the test prints – out of the many hundreds in the pattern. It does not affect the quality of actual prints somehow, which is why I don’t care. And compared to having no color at all, this is fantastic. If I were to do this again I might change out the paper after one pass, and do each tube again. But this is probably unnecessary if you have a newer machine than ours. Overall, I found this process straightforward and very successful. There were no huge surprises and – so far – the result has been as good as I’d hoped. Users who are not accustomed to tinkering or fixing things might not find it as “easy” as I did, but if they trust the instructions and take their time, they should be okay. We are very satisfied and relieved. We recommended this kit if you have similar symptoms on a similar printer. Review: Messy, but well worth it - Like most new tasks, there is a learning curve here. After a couple of false starts, and making some messes, the product worked great. My printer is working 100% now, so it was well worth it. Some comments/suggestions: - The instructions could be clearer, and more detailed. Example: I found that I needed to hold the hose to the ink receptacle. On some ink wells, the hose would pop off, and the cleaning fluid would spray the inside of the printer. I also learned to SLOWLY press the syringe. - An old towel or paper towel should be placed UNDER the printer, to catch any of these spills. - More blotter paper is needed. It works better than paper towel, but there are only 2 small sheets. Blue shop paper towels work better than kitchen paper towels, too. - Remove all paper from the MFC-495. The cleaning fluid and ink spilled into the paper tray, and soaked through all sheets. Paper towel in the trays would be a good idea. - I had replaced all the ink cartridges before I started. By the end of the process, 2 of the cartridges were empty This is from using the built in cleaning cycles. Be aware of this. There was also an issue with me, not following the instructions. I only let the cleaning fluid soak for a few minutes the first 2 attempts. The 3rd time I let soak for several hours, after re-reading the instructions. I could see a great improvement after the longer soak. A couple of cleaning cycles (using the built in print head cleaning, via the control panel), and it was back to printing perfect test sheets. The printer I was working on, is probably an extreme case. The previous tenants let all the colors go empty, and the machine was left sitting, unused, for at least several months. Based on other evidence in the house (AC filters, fridge filters), the colors could have been dry for as long as 4 years. The path was messy, but the result was better than I expected. Good product, good price. ## Features - Simple fix for cleaning Brother desktop printers.

But if you follow the directions to center the printhead in the carriage and then work at getting the blotter paper in it will fit. I used the recommended amount of fluid and the blotter paper absorbed it all. No mess. **Q: I have seen the video but haven't catched. Which temperature must be the solution (in centigrades, please) before being injected to the print head?** A: I didn't try to be real specific when I tried it... I just used warm water from the kitchen tap, probably about 40-45 degrees C, let the solution warm up for about 10 minutes. Honestly, this product was absolutely wonderful. I was ready to throw this printer away and buy a new one. Now, I'm as happy as I can be with it. Hope you have the same experience. **Q: My brother mfc i've had since 2006 and has a "cleaner" inside of it. it cleans itself every night automatically so why would i need this?** A: If you are asking the question, you don't need it. It's designed for a one-time (or rare) "repair," not for ongoing "maintenance." You may need it some day, if the self-cleaning isn't adequate to keep the nozzles from clogging. This is usually due to disuse of the printer for weeks to months to years. If you aren't using it, it isn't self-cleaning, and the nozzles can get clogged. This product is designed to unclog them. The self-cleaning is designed more to keep them from getting clogged in the first place. **Q: Can this cleaning solution be applied to all cartridge nozzles at once to be left overnight or is this done one at a time?** A: Yes, all the nozzles can be treated at the same time. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well, helps you rescue printer - for a while.

Al precio que van las impresoras de inyección merecerá la pena el gasto dependiendo del cariño que tengas a tu impresora. Creo que las instrucciones son complicadas para lo que es el proceso en si. ## Frequently Bought Together - Printhead Hospital Printer Cleaning Kit for Brother MFC DCP Printers - 5 oz | Easy to use kit to Clear Printer nozzles - Fosgoit Printhead Cleaning Kit Inkjet Printers, Printer Cleaning Kit for Epson Ecotank Printer, Printer Cleaner Kit for HP, Inkjet Printer Head Cleaning Solution for Brother Print Head Liquid Nozzles --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9262249-printhead-cleaner-for-brother-printers-5oz](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9262249-printhead-cleaner-for-brother-printers-5oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
