Hello everyone,
I have a small problem and could really use your experience. After an unfortunate pet accident where my dog climbed onto the white KALLAX shelf, some of the white doors have become noticeably discolored. The stains look like brown or yellow spots, which I find hard to explain—probably a combination of scratches and discoloration from fur or possibly from the fall.
I’m now looking for tips on how to remove or at least significantly reduce these stains on the white doors without causing further damage to the surface. Which cleaning agents or home remedies would be suitable for this? Or would it be better to use professional furniture care?
Are there any recommendations for better protecting the shelf in the future when pets get “active” again?
Thanks for any help you can offer! 🙂

Hey Enesfe,
I think it’s great that you’re taking such a thorough approach and looking for advice here! 😊
I had a similar experience with white furniture and my little chaotic cat. My trick was to try mild leather care products – they really helped maintain the surface, and the stains almost disappeared! 🙂
It also helps to gently polish a small area (always with an appropriate cloth) to restore the original shine.
My tip for next time: cat-friendly furniture covers or thin, transparent protective covers work really well without noticeably changing the look of the furniture.
Good luck, and fingers crossed you get the doors looking nice again!
