Why Stone Paper Notebooks Need Different Care
Stone paper is not made from wood pulp, so it behaves differently than traditional paper. The pages are smooth, waterproof, and surprisingly durable. This means you can clean them without worrying about tearing or smudging, but it also means you should avoid methods that work on regular paper, like erasing with a rubber or using water-based correction fluid.
The key to long-lasting use is understanding that stone paper is a synthetic material—it resists water and tearing, but it can be scratched by abrasive tools. With a few simple habits, your A5 hardcover notebook will stay in great shape for daily writing, sketching, or note-taking.
How to Clean Stone Paper Pages
Because stone paper is waterproof, cleaning is straightforward. Follow these steps to remove pencil marks, light smudges, or dust without damaging the surface.
- Use a soft eraser: A standard plastic or vinyl eraser works well on stone paper. Gently rub the mark; the smooth surface releases graphite easily. Avoid hard or gritty erasers that could leave scratches.
- Wipe with a damp cloth: For smudges or dirt, lightly dampen a soft, lint-free cloth and wipe the page. Stone paper is waterproof, so moisture won't cause wrinkling or bleeding. Dry the page with a clean cloth afterward.
- Let air dry: After cleaning with a damp cloth, leave the notebook open to air dry completely before closing it. This prevents any residual moisture from affecting the cover or binding.
Maintaining the Hardcover Cover
The hardcover on these stone paper notebooks is designed to protect the pages during travel or daily use. To keep it looking clean, wipe it occasionally with a slightly damp cloth. For the Pomegranate red or Grey Scale covers, a gentle wipe is usually enough. Avoid soaking the cover or using harsh chemicals, as the finish may not be designed for that.
If you store the notebook in a bag or backpack, consider using a sleeve or keeping it in a separate compartment to prevent scuffs from keys or other items. The cover is sturdy, but it can still show wear over time.

What the Supplied Information Does Not Confirm
The supplied product records do not include specific instructions for cleaning the cover material or for removing ink stains. Stone paper is generally resistant to ink from ballpoint pens, but permanent markers or fountain pen ink may behave differently. If you write with a pen that uses liquid ink, test it on a corner page first to see how it interacts with the surface.
Similarly, no archival quality or long-term colorfastness claims are made. For everyday use, the care tips above should keep your notebook functional for months or years, but treat the cover gently to preserve its appearance.
