Keep your Quantic Dream Mug and Notebook looking sharp with simple cleaning and storage habits. Step-by-step care that protects the ceramic and the paper.
Quick answer
Wash the Quantic Dream Mug by hand with warm water and mild dish soap, then air-dry it upside down. For the Quantic Dream Notebook, keep it closed and flat when not in use, store it away from direct sunlight and moisture, and write with a fine-tip pen to avoid bleed-through on the dotted grid pages.
Why material matters for each item
The Quantic Dream Mug is 100% ceramic and microwaveable, so it handles heat well, but the printed studio logo still sits on the surface. Abrasive sponges and harsh dishwasher detergents can dull that print over time, even if the mug itself survives. The Quantic Dream Notebook uses a Balacron cover, ivory 80gsm paper, and a Quantic blue elastic plus pen holder. The paper is sturdy enough for everyday writing, but it is not waterproof, and the elastic can leave a permanent indentation if the notebook is stored with the band pulled tight for months.
Everyday habits that prevent most damage
Rinse the mug soon after use so tea or coffee residue does not dry into the glaze. For the notebook, avoid leaving it open face-down; that stresses the spine and can transfer ink from one page to the next. When you carry the notebook in a bag, use the elastic to keep it closed, but do not overstretch it around extra items. Keep both items away from radiators, direct sun, and damp basements. If you display the notebook on a shelf, stand it upright or lay it flat rather than leaning it at an angle that warps the cover.
What to do when something goes wrong
If the mug print starts to look chalky, stop using the dishwasher and switch to hand washing with a soft sponge; the change often halts further fading. For a notebook page that has become wavy from humidity, place the closed notebook under a flat, heavy book for a day or two. Do not iron the pages or use a hair dryer, which can curl the paper permanently. If the elastic loses snap, you can still use the notebook, but store it flat so the cover does not gap open. Stickers from other merch should not be applied to the Balacron cover unless you accept that they may not come off cleanly.
Step-by-step care routine
- Rinse the mug immediately after use: Fill the Quantic Dream Mug with warm water and a drop of mild dish soap, then wipe the inside and outside with a soft sponge. Avoid scouring pads or bleach-based cleaners. Checkpoint: if the print feels rough or looks dull, you are using too abrasive a tool.
- Hand-dry the mug upside down: Let the mug air-dry on a rack, or dry it with a soft cloth. Do not stack other dishes inside it while it is still wet, which can chip the rim. Checkpoint: the mug is fully dry before you put it back in the cupboard.
- Close the notebook with the elastic, but do not overstretch: The Quantic blue elastic should hold the cover shut without pulling the boards out of shape. If you add loose papers, keep them thin. Checkpoint: the elastic lies flat against the cover, not stretched around a thick bundle.
- Store the notebook flat or upright, away from sun and damp: Keep it on a shelf or in a drawer where temperature and humidity are stable. Do not leave it in a car or near a window for long periods. Checkpoint: pages stay flat and the Balacron cover does not feel tacky or warped.
- Write with a fine-tip pen or pencil: The 80gsm ivory paper handles most pens, but very wet rollerballs or markers can bleed through the dotted grid. Test on a back page first. Checkpoint: no ink shadow on the reverse side of the page.
- Remove the detachable artworks before heavy use: The notebook includes three double-sided glossy artworks. If you plan to write a lot, take them out and store them flat in a sleeve or frame them. Checkpoint: artworks are stored separately so they do not get creased or smudged.
Product facts
- Quantic Dream Notebook: Balacron cover, ivory 80gsm paper, Quantic blue elastic and pen holder, dotted grid pages, includes three double-sided full-color glossy detachable artworks. The dotted grid suits writing or drawing, and the detachable artworks mean you can frame or store them separately instead of leaving them pressed in the notebook where they might crease.
- Quantic Dream Mug: 100% ceramic construction, microwaveable, features the Quantic Dream studio logo. Ceramic is easy to clean, and microwave use is safe, but the logo is a surface print, so hand washing with mild soap is the simplest way to keep it looking new.
