Hello everyone,
I have a piece of furniture from the Malm series made of white laminated particleboard that unfortunately has developed unpleasant water stains on the surface. I would like to remove these stains without damaging the surface or affecting the finish or laminate. Now I am wondering: Should I rely on traditional home remedies like vinegar, toothpaste, or baking powder for cleaning these water stains, or would it be better to use specialized cleaning products designed for plastic furniture?
It is important to me that the furniture does not become dull or discolored after treatment. Does anyone have experience with Malm furniture and know effective methods for removing water stains?
Thank you very much for your tips and advice!

Apply vinegar essence to a cloth, dab carefully, wipe off immediately.This is generally a method that can work on durable surfaces. However, I would advise against using it on furniture with thin foil coverings, as acetic acid could damage the foil.
An alternative is a specialized cleaner based on silicone or polymer, designed specifically for plastic surfaces and working without abrasives. These cleaners often remove residues more effectively without affecting the protective layer.
Additionally, a gentle approach helps: perform spot tests on the back, apply minimal product, keep exposure time short, and work evenly.
