Hello everyone, I own several Ikea Brimnes furniture pieces, mainly dressers and nightstands. Unfortunately, I have increasingly noticed that the surfaces and edges of the furniture are prone to scratches. This is especially frustrating because the white surfaces seem quite delicate. My question is: What proven methods or materials are available to effectively protect Ikea Brimnes furniture from scratches without affecting the appearance? I am interested in both preventive measures and tips for maintenance or repair of minor scratches. Thank you in advance for your experiences and advice!
I know the problem with scratches on Brimnes furniture – it can be really annoying. You appreciate the simple design and then there are those flaws. It helps me to be patient and see the furniture more as part of everyday life rather than as a showcase piece. But the tips about protective film and felt pads are really good; I will definitely apply them more thoroughly. Sometimes a bit of carelessness is quickly penalized, especially with affordable furniture.

You should also make sure to clean only with mild, lint-free cloths and without aggressive cleaning agents to avoid further damaging the surface.Absolutely correct. In addition: microfiber cloths free of fabric softener residues provide a gentle cleaning. Harsh chemicals dissolve the protective coating and promote the formation of scratches.
