Avoid Overstuffing: Do not overfill the diary with loose papers or cards, as this can damage the binding and elastic closure.
Gentle Handling: While the hardcover is durable, avoid bending the spine excessively or forcing pages open to prevent damage.
Clean Cover: If the hardcover gets dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Store Properly: When not in active use, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the cover or yellowing of pages.
