Hello everyone, I have a Malm dresser from Ikea and want to make sure I take proper care of it to keep it in good condition. Are there any specific care tips or procedures to follow for Malm dressers? I am particularly interested in the surfaces, coatings, the material itself, and how to handle minor damages like scratches or moisture. It would be great if you have any experiences or recommendations specifically for Malm dressers, as I have heard that some household products or cleaning methods can actually cause damage. Thanks in advance!

I wonder: Has anyone had experience using furniture polish or oils on this type of surface?

From my experience and various sources, I can say that furniture polish is not recommended for melamine resin-coated furniture like the Malm chest of drawers. These polishes are usually formulated for wood surfaces.

They can leave residues that make the surface feel greasy and attract dust. Additionally, there is a risk that the plastic film could be damaged, which might reduce durability.

It is better to clean the surface only with a mild soapy solution and a microfiber cloth.
