Hello everyone,
After cleaning for spring, I unfortunately ended up with some light new streaks on my white KALLAX shelf unit. They appear to be surface-level but cannot be easily wiped away. The streaks look like scratches or possibly residue from cleaning cloths or cleaning products.
Does anyone have experience with the best way to clean white KALLAX shelves without damaging the surface? Are there any specific cleaning agents or techniques to target these streaks? I prefer not to use anything too harsh, as I want to keep the shelf in good condition without causing further damage.
Looking forward to any helpful tips and advice!

The best way is to clean it with a damp microfiber cloth and some dish soap, then dry it immediately.Thanks, I tried that first, but unfortunately without success. The streaks didn’t come off and seemed more superficial than baked-in.

Try gently rubbing it with an eraserThe eraser idea sounds interesting! I’ve never tried that on furniture before. Has anyone here used this method often on white furniture? Is there a specific type of eraser needed, or is a regular school eraser enough?

Wipe over it with diluted vinegar waterThat’s a good tip, I’ll test it carefully since it seems low risk. Is there any risk of damage from vinegar to the white KALLAX surface? I mean, it’s coated, right, or could it cause discoloration?

And if the streaks are from plastic residue: sometimes nail polish remover with acetone can help – use it very sparingly and wipe off quickly. But only as a last resort and always test beforehand!

I will report back on how it goes. Thanks for the helpful tips so far!
