Where OrangiO must not go (and what to use instead)
This page saves money and surfaces. Grease and glue. Not screens, not acrylic, not limescale. Negative results stay published, because trust is part of the product.
Can I clean screens with OrangiO? TN-01
No. Screens carry oleophobic and anti-reflective coatings, and a solvent can damage them for good.
Use instead: A dry microfibre cloth or a product made for screens. Device always unplugged.
Is OrangiO safe on perspex and acrylic? TN-02
No. Acrylics dull and micro-crack from solvents: the damage is permanent and shows against the light.
Use instead: Water with a drop of dish soap and a soft cloth.
Can I wipe car headlights with OrangiO? TN-03
No. Polycarbonate reacts like perspex: dullness instead of clarity.
Use instead: Dedicated headlight restoration kits.
Can OrangiO go on car paint? TN-04
Not as an instruction. Paints and coatings differ between cars, and a spot of damage shows only after the fact. Note: a camper's gelcoat is a different material and a separate test candidate, not the same decision.
Use instead: Car cosmetics made for paint.
Can I wash raw or oiled wood with OrangiO? TN-05
Not without a trial. The oil soaks into raw wood and leaves stains, and it washes the finish out of oiled tops.
Use instead: Wood care products, minimal moisture, always a corner trial.
Can OrangiO touch seals and silicone? TN-06
Not without a test. Solvents can dry out and deform elastomers, and a seal holds water: do not risk it for cleanliness.
Use instead: Water with soap and a soft cloth.
Can I clean a hot hob or hood right after cooking? TN-07
No. On a hot surface the liquid evaporates faster, smells stronger and behaves unpredictably.
Use instead: Wait until the surface is cold. A standing rule of every plan.
Does OrangiO work as a dishwasher or washing machine freshener? TN-08
No. It is not a product for machine cycles and no such use exists in its safety data.
Use instead: Products made for cleaning appliances, used by their maker's instructions.

Can I mix OrangiO with a descaler or bleach? TN-09
Never. Mixing products means unknown reactions, and with chlorine: toxic fumes. Rule number 1 of the whole system.
Use instead: One product at a time, full water rinse between products.
Does OrangiO disinfect? TN-10
No. OrangiO cleans grease and glue, it does not kill germs, and nobody may claim it does.
Use instead: Disinfection needs authorised biocidal products used by their label.
Can the concentrate touch skin or end up in children's hands? TN-11
No. The concentrate irritates eyes (H319) and can sensitise skin (H317, d-limonene). It is a cleaner, not a cosmetic, and adults only.
Use instead: Gloves with the concentrate, bottle out of children's reach, wash skin with soap and water after contact.
Can food go straight back after cleaning? TN-12
No. After every clean, food-contact zones need a wipe with clean water and drying.
Use instead: Clean water, drying, then the food. The finish of every plan.
Does OrangiO remove limescale? TN-13
No. OrangiO is a grease and glue specialist, limescale ignores it: you lose time and liquid.
Use instead: The Seltino Entkalker descaler, never in one bottle with OrangiO, and always with a full rinse between the two.
