Teddy Dotted Notebook Care: Keep Dots and Pages Looking Fresh

Protect your fuzzy Teddy Dotted Notebook with a simple care routine: flatten pages, store it safely, and keep the teddy fabric clean without damaging the dots.
Quick answer
Keep your Teddy Dotted Notebook flat by storing it horizontally under light weight, and clean the teddy fabric with a soft brush or a barely damp cloth. Avoid heat, moisture, and heavy pressure on the dot grid.
Why the dot grid and teddy fabric need different care
The dot grid is printed on ultra-thick 160gsm paper, which resists bleed and ghosting from most pens and markers. That same thickness makes creases harder to reverse once they set, so prevent bending rather than trying to fix it later.
The teddy fabric cover is soft and textured, so it traps dust and can mat down if rubbed wet. Treat the cover and the pages as two separate care zones: dry methods for the fabric, gentle flattening for the paper.
When your notebook travels or sits unused
If the notebook stays in a bag, the cover can pick up lint and the pages can curl at the corners. A simple sleeve or the matching Teddy Medium Sling Bag keeps it protected without adding bulk.
For long storage, avoid stacking heavy objects directly on the dot grid for weeks. The 160gsm paper is sturdy, but sustained pressure can leave indentations that show through on dotted pages.
Step-by-step Teddy Dotted Notebook care
- Flatten pages after each use: Close the notebook and press gently along the spine with a clean, dry hand. Store it flat or upright with support, not at an angle that bends the cover. Check for curled corners weekly; a light weight for a few hours can relax minor curls.
- Clean the teddy fabric cover dry: Brush the fabric with a soft clothes brush or lint roller to lift dust. For spots, use a barely damp cloth and blot, then air-dry away from heat. Never rub wet—moisture can mat the teddy texture and seep toward the page edges.
- Store away from heat and moisture: Keep the notebook on a shelf or in a drawer, not near radiators, windows, or humid bathrooms. If you carry it daily, use a sleeve or the Teddy Medium Sling Bag. A silica packet in your storage drawer helps in damp climates, but keep it away from direct contact with the pages.
- Handle the dot grid with clean, dry hands: Oils and lotions can transfer to the paper and make dots look smudged. Wash and dry hands before journaling, and avoid resting a wet drink on the open pages. Use a blotter sheet under your hand if you use creamy pens or paints.
