Product Safety & Care Guide

Effective Date: September 5, 2026

At Gardenials, we want our customers to enjoy their products safely and responsibly. This guide provides general recommendations for receiving, unpacking, using, cleaning, storing, and caring for products purchased through our website.

Please always read and follow any product-specific instructions, labels, warnings, or manufacturer instructions provided with your product.

1. Receiving Your Order

When your order arrives:

• Inspect the package before opening it.

• If the package appears severely damaged, take photographs of the packaging before opening it.

• Carefully remove the product from its packaging.

• Keep packaging materials away from children and pets.

• Do not use a product if it appears damaged, defective, or unsafe.

If your order arrives damaged or you receive the wrong product, contact us at support@gardenials.shop as soon as possible.

2. Unboxing & Setup

When opening your package:

• Use appropriate care when cutting tape or opening packaging.

• Avoid using sharp objects directly against the product.

• Follow any assembly or setup instructions provided with the product.

• Place products on a stable and appropriate surface.

• Allow products that require settling, expansion, or assembly to reach their intended condition before regular use.

• Do not force components together if they do not fit as intended.

Some products may be packaged in a compact manner to make transportation easier. Follow the product-specific instructions regarding unpacking and setup.

3. General Product Safety

For safe use:

• Use each product only for its intended household or garden purpose.

• Follow all product-specific instructions and warnings.

• Do not modify, alter, or repair a product unless the instructions specifically permit it.

• Keep products away from excessive heat, open flames, and other potential hazards unless the product is specifically designed for such conditions.

• Place products on stable surfaces where appropriate.

• Do not exceed any stated weight, capacity, or usage limitations.

• Keep small components and packaging materials away from young children and pets.

4. Children & Pets

Products intended for adults or general household use should not automatically be treated as toys.

Keep packaging materials, plastic bags, small components, cords, and other potentially hazardous items away from young children and pets.

If a product includes specific age, supervision, or safety instructions, always follow those instructions.

5. Cleaning & Maintenance

Proper care can help maintain the appearance and functionality of your product.

Unless product-specific instructions state otherwise:

• Follow the care instructions supplied with the product.

• Use appropriate cleaning products for the material.

• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods unless specifically recommended.

• Do not expose materials to excessive moisture.

• Allow cleaned products to dry completely before use or storage.

• Do not use excessive heat to dry products unless specifically permitted.

Different materials require different care. Always prioritize the instructions supplied with your specific product.

6. Outdoor Products

For products intended for outdoor use:

• Follow the product-specific outdoor-use instructions.

• Protect products from prolonged exposure to extreme weather when recommended.

• Keep products clean and dry when appropriate.

• Store or cover products during severe weather when recommended.

• Do not assume that an outdoor product is completely weatherproof unless the product description specifically states so.

Natural changes caused by normal outdoor exposure, including changes in color or appearance, may occur depending on the materials and environmental conditions.

7. Furniture & Home Décor

For furniture and decorative products:

• Place items on stable and suitable surfaces.

• Follow all included assembly instructions.

• Check screws, fittings, and connections periodically where applicable.

• Do not exceed the recommended weight capacity.

• Avoid standing, climbing, or sitting on products that are not specifically designed for that purpose.

• Keep fragile decorative items away from areas where they could easily be knocked over.

8. Heat, Fire & Electrical Safety

Keep products away from open flames, fireplaces, heaters, stoves, radiators, and other sources of excessive heat unless the product is specifically designed for use near such sources.

For products containing electrical components:

• Follow the included electrical and operating instructions.

• Use only the recommended power source or accessories.

• Do not use products with damaged cords, plugs, or electrical components.

• Stop using the product if it becomes damaged or shows signs of an electrical problem.

9. Storage

When storing a product:

• Choose a clean, dry, and suitable storage location.

• Protect the product from excessive moisture and heat.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when it may damage the material.

• Store products according to any product-specific instructions.

• Ensure products are clean and completely dry before long-term storage when appropriate.

10. Product Variations

Minor variations in color, texture, dimensions, finish, or appearance may occur due to manufacturing processes, materials, lighting, photography, packaging, or differences between digital displays.

Such variations do not necessarily indicate a defect.

Please refer to the individual product listing for product-specific dimensions, materials, features, and care instructions.

11. When to Stop Using a Product

Stop using a product if:

• It appears damaged or structurally unsafe.

• A component becomes loose or broken.

• It develops an unexpected electrical problem.

• It presents an unusual safety risk.
