Care Instructions
Keep your OrangeHomes and Orange Decor products looking stunning with our detailed care guidelines.
Introduction At OrangeHomes, we craft modular furniture and interior solutions like wardrobes, TV units, and kitchens to transform your space. At Orange Decor, we offer curated home decor items, from delicate glassware to elegant ceramics, to elevate your style. To ensure these products remain beautiful and functional, follow our care instructions for materials including plywood, fabric, laminate, acrylic, veneer, glass, mirrors, foam, wood, metal, leather, ceramics, stone, and resin. Proper care also helps maintain eligibility for our OrangeHomes Warranty and Orange Decor guarantees.
General Care for All Products
- Environment: Keep products in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperatures to prevent fading, warping, or damage.
- Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or brush to prevent buildup. Avoid acidic, abrasive, or corrosive cleaners (e.g., bleach, ammonia) as they can damage finishes.
- Usage: Use products for their intended purpose only. Modifying, painting, or retouching products voids the warranty.
- Placement: Do not place hot, cold, or wet items directly on surfaces without coasters, mats, or trivets. Avoid outdoor use unless specified.
- Safety: Keep sharp objects away to prevent scratches or tears. Do not allow children to play with or climb on furniture or decor.
- Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or repairs, contact a professional service to avoid damage. Contact us at hello@theorangehomes.com or support@orangedecor.com for recommendations.
Plywood Products (Wardrobes, Storage, TV Units) Plywood furniture is durable but sensitive to moisture and heavy loads.
- Cleaning: Dust weekly with a soft, dry cloth. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or alcohol-based products.
- Protection: Use coasters or mats for drinks and plants to prevent water rings. Adhere to weight limits for shelves and drawers to avoid sagging.
- Maintenance: Tighten screws and hinges every 6 months. Apply a plywood-safe polish annually to maintain sheen. Check for warping in humid conditions.

Fabric Products (Upholstery, Cushions, Curtains) Fabric adds comfort but requires regular care to stay vibrant.
- Cleaning: Vacuum weekly with a soft brush attachment. For spills, blot immediately with a dry cloth—do not rub. Use a mild fabric cleaner for stains, testing on a hidden area first.
- Protection: Apply a fabric protector spray to repel stains (check compatibility with your fabric). Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Maintenance: Flip, rotate, and fluff cushions weekly for even wear. Dry clean curtains annually or per care label instructions.
- Avoid: Do not use bleach, harsh detergents, or excessive water. Keep sharp objects away to prevent tears. Avoid placing near heat sources.
Laminate Finishes (Cabinets, Tabletops) Laminate is low-maintenance but prone to scratches and seam damage.
- Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately. For tough marks, use a 1:10 vinegar-water solution. Avoid abrasive pads or solvent-based cleaners.
- Protection: Use coasters, placemats, or trivets to prevent scratches or heat marks. Avoid dragging objects across surfaces.
- Maintenance: Inspect seams and edges every 6 months for wear. Clean spills promptly to prevent seepage into seams.

Glass and Mirrors (Tabletops, Shelves, Decor) Glass and mirrors add elegance but are fragile and prone to smudges.
- Cleaning: Use an ammonia-free glass cleaner and a lint-free microfiber cloth. For tough marks, use a 1:1 vinegar-water solution. Wipe dry to prevent streaks.

Space-Saving Furniture (OrangeHomes) Space-saving furniture, like foldable beds or multi-use units, requires careful operation.
- Operation: Clear the floor area before opening. Gently guide the product to the floor, ensuring legs are stable. Do not allow children under 10 to operate, as it may be dangerous.

General Care Tips for Orange Decor Home Decor Items
