Hello everyone, some time ago I bought Malm furniture from Ikea, which is coated with a matte clear lacquer. Now I’m wondering how to best clean these surfaces without damaging the matte finish or causing unsightly shiny spots. Are there any special cleaning tips or products that are particularly suitable for preserving the matte texture while still cleaning thoroughly? In everyday use, I usually only use a slightly damp cloth, but occasionally there are stains that need a stronger cleaning approach. I would appreciate any experiences and suggestions, including technical advice on suitable fabrics or cleaning agents.
In summary: Caring for Malm furniture with a matte finish requires gentleness and avoiding harsh cleaning agents. Microfiber cloths combined with lukewarm water and a mild dishwashing detergent are ideal. Household products containing acids, alcohol, or solvents, as well as abrasive sponges, are damaging. Stain removal should be done carefully, if necessary using a rubber eraser. This approach aligns with the recommendations of manufacturers and paint experts.
