Hello everyone, I have several Ikea Hemnes furniture pieces at home (cabinets, dressers) that often have to deal with dirt, pet hair, and occasional scratch dust due to my pets (cat and dog). My question for you is: Are there any specific tips or proven cleaning methods to effectively clean Ikea Hemnes lacquered solid wood furniture without damaging the wood or affecting the finish, especially when you have pets that are often nearby? I am particularly interested in how you handle stubborn pet hair and scratch marks. Thank you in advance for your experiences and advice!

One more question about regular maintenance: How often do you clean your Hemnes furniture in daily life if you have pets? I feel that wiping daily would be too much (also because of the moisture), but every few days I can already see quite a lot of pet hair and dust. How do you handle this?

My routine is to do a more thorough cleaning two to three times a week, plus a quick daily wipe with a dry microfiber cloth to remove coarse hair and dust. This keeps everything fresh without adding too much moisture.

I vacuum daily and mop with a damp cloth once a week.

Daily hair removal using rubber gloves, damp wiping every 3-4 days.

I’m similar to Timofa, doing a wet cleaning about three times a week, but wiping away hair briefly every day – it’s quick and saves a lot of work later! 😀

Daily checking and removal of hair greatly helps maintain the appearance of the furniture. I see it as a small act of care for both the pets and the home.
