Product Care
At Home Origins, our furniture is built to last. With a bit of care, it’ll stay looking great and working well for years to come.
Handing & Assembly
Whether you're setting up a new piece or making space at home, a few simple steps can make handling your furniture easier and safer.
- Follow the instructions carefully, and assemble only if you feel confident doing so
- Use the correct fittings when assembling to avoid trapping or stressing components
- Check and tighten fixings from time to time to keep everything secure
- Disassemble when needed, and store all fixings safely for reassembly
- Take care when lifting or handling to protect both yourself and your furniture
- Lift furniture rather than dragging to avoid stress on joints and flooring
- Ask for help when moving larger items to reduce the risk of damage or injury
- Damage caused by incorrect assembly or use is not covered under warranty
Caring for Wood
Every piece of wood is unique. These simple habits will help preserve its natural beauty.
- Dust regularly using a soft, slightly damp cloth
- Clean up any spills immediately to prevent stains
- Use coasters, placemats and pads under laptops or when writing
- Avoid harsh cleaning sprays or silicone-based products
- Do not place plastic or rubber items directly on wooden surfaces
- Keep furniture away from heat sources like radiators or open fires
- Try to maintain steady humidity to reduce the risk of warping or cracking
- Minimise direct sunlight to prevent the wood from fading over time
Caring for Metal
Metal furniture needs little care, but avoiding knocks and scuffs keeps the finish looking its best.
- Dust using a dry, soft cloth to maintain the finish
- If needed, wipe gently with a damp cloth and dry straight after
- Avoid polish or solvents, which may damage protective coatings
Caring for Upholstery
Upholstered furniture is made for everyday comfort, and a little upkeep goes a long way.
- Vacuum regularly using an upholstery attachment to remove surface dust and crumbs
- Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can cause fabrics to lose colour over time
- Keep upholstered furniture away from radiators and open flames to protect against heat damage
- Clean any spills immediately by blotting with a dry, absorbent cloth
- For deeper cleaning, consult a professional upholstery cleaner
Caring for Melamine
Melamine is durable and easy to care for.
- Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth and dry afterwards
- Avoid harsh abrasives or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface
- Use coasters and placemats to protect from heat and moisture
Caring for Glass Surfaces
Glass surfaces bring light to your space. Keep them at their best with regular, gentle cleaning.
- Clean with a non-abrasive glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid placing heavy or sharp objects directly on the glass
- Wipe dry to reduce streaks and water spots
Keeping Mirrors Clean
Mirrors reflect best when they’re cared for with a soft touch and the right cleaning routine.
