Hello everyone,
A few months ago, I bought several IKEA Malm furniture pieces (mainly dressers and nightstands) and now I would like to know which maintenance products are best for long-term care to avoid damaging or discoloring the material.
Specifically, I am concerned about the surfaces, which are made of laminated engineered wood, and I want to prevent moisture or overly aggressive cleaners from damaging the finish. It would be great if someone with experience could share which cleaning or care products (e.g., special furniture care products, microfiber cloths, natural alternatives, etc.) are suitable and which ones should definitely be avoided.
I’m also interested in tips for regular maintenance: how often to clean, how to deal with fingerprints or minor scratches.
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice!

This way, the furniture stays attractive longer without needing to be dismantled or replaced immediately.

Touch-up pens (e.g., for laminate or furniture) improve the appearance.
