Do you have a product care guide?

To ensure that your diary remains in pristine condition and serves you well throughout the year, please follow these care and maintenance tips:

General Care

• Avoid Excessive Water Exposure: While your diary is designed to withstand daily use, it is not waterproof. Keep it away from liquids to prevent warping and ink smudging.
• Minimize Direct Sunlight: Store your diary in a place where it is not exposed to prolonged periods of direct sunlight. This will help prevent the cover from fading and the paper from becoming brittle.
• Use a Protective Cover: If you carry your diary with you, consider using a protective cover to shield it from wear and tear, spills, and other potential damage.

Writing Tips

• Use the Right Pens: For the best writing experience and to prevent ink bleed-through, we recommend using ballpoint pens, fine-tip gel pens, or pencils. Avoid using fountain pens or markers with heavy ink flow.
• Blotting: If you do use wetter inks, consider placing a blotting sheet beneath your writing page to protect the next page.

Cleaning

• Dust Regularly: Gently wipe the cover of your diary with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If your diary has a leather or faux leather cover, you can use a slightly damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth to keep it clean.
• Stain Removal: In case of a spill, blot the area gently with a dry paper towel or a soft cloth. Do not rub as it may spread the stain. For covers, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth for spot cleaning, then dry immediately with a clean cloth.

Storage

• Optimal Environment: Store your diary in a cool, dry place to avoid moisture buildup and warping of the pages.
• Bookends: If you keep your diary on a shelf, use bookends to prevent it from slumping or becoming misshapen.

Long-Term Preservation

• Archiving: Once the year is over, store your diary in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider placing it in a storage box to protect it from dust and physical damage.

Following these care instructions will help ensure that your journal remains a valuable tool and keepsake for years to come. If you have any further questions about product care, please contact our customer service team at info@wykehams.shop.
