Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the cleaning recommendations for Ikea Besta furniture with melamine surfaces. I own several BESTA cabinets and want to make sure I maintain them properly to avoid damaging or wearing out the surfaces. Are there any specific care instructions or recommended cleaning products for melamine surfaces on BESTA that I should follow? I am particularly interested in knowing which cleaning agents should definitely be avoided, whether certain substances are better suited, and how often cleaning should ideally be done. Any tips on stain removal would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your experiences and advice!

If you have grease stains or fingerprints, use a slightly damp cloth with a vinegar-water mixture (1:1). However, first test this on an inconspicuous spot to make sure the surface doesn’t react to the vinegar.Great advice! This helps avoid unpleasant surprises. I would add: never scrub with too much force. Melamine can handle quite a bit, but you want the beauty to last. And make sure to wring the cloth out in warm water, don’t pour it on wet. Gentle and easy—that’s how maintenance stays enjoyable 😄!
