Leather Bound Eye of the Ocean Book Care Guide

Quick answer

Dust your leather cover weekly with a soft cloth, condition it every 6–12 months with a dedicated leather conditioner, and store it away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Step-by-step leather book care

1. Dust regularly: Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the leather cover once a week. Start from the center and move outward to avoid pushing dirt into the grain. A common mistake is using a damp cloth — moisture can stain leather and encourage mold.
2. Condition every 6–12 months: Apply a small amount of pH-balanced leather conditioner to a soft cloth and rub it into the cover using circular motions. Let it absorb for 10 minutes, then buff off any excess. Over-conditioning can clog the leather pores and attract dust. One thin layer is enough.
3. Store flat and away from light: Keep the book on a flat shelf or in a box, away from direct sunlight, radiators, and damp areas. Ideal temperature is 60–75°F (15–24°C) with 40–50% humidity. Storing it upright like a paperback can cause the spine to warp over time due to the weight of the sewn binding.
