Care Instructions

1. Handling: Handle the décor piece with care to avoid dropping or knocking it against hard surfaces, as PLA (Polylactic Acid) can crack or break under impact.

2. Cleaning:

   • Dust Removal: Regularly dust the surface using a soft, dry cloth or a gentle feather duster. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaning agents that could scratch the paint or PLA material.

   • Spot Cleaning: If needed, lightly dampen a soft cloth with water and gently wipe the surface. Ensure the cloth is not dripping wet to prevent water damage to the paint or PLA.

3. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the metallic gold paint to fade or discolor over time. Place the décor piece in a location where it is not constantly exposed to intense sunlight.

4. Temperature and Humidity:

   • Temperature: PLA can soften at high temperatures (typically above 60°C or 140°F). Keep the décor away from heat sources such as radiators or direct heat sources.

   • Humidity: PLA can absorb moisture, potentially affecting its structural integrity over time. Avoid placing the décor in excessively humid environments or areas prone to moisture buildup.

5. Storage: When not in use, store the décor piece in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Consider wrapping it in a soft cloth or storing it in a protective box to prevent dust buildup and accidental damage.

6. Avoid Chemicals:

   • Avoid exposing the décor piece to chemicals such as solvents, bleach, or strong cleaning agents. These substances can damage both the PLA material and the metallic gold paint.

   • If accidental contact with chemicals occurs, immediately clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.

7. Maintenance: Periodically inspect the décor piece for any signs of wear, damage, or loosening of paint. Address any issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.

8. Use Soft Padding: When moving or transporting the décor piece, use soft padding or cushioning to protect it from bumps and knocks.

Following these care instructions will help maintain the appearance and structural integrity of your PLA material décor with metallic gold color paint, ensuring its longevity and aesthetic appeal.
