Hello everyone,

I own several MALM furniture pieces from IKEA that I want to clean regularly without risking unsightly scratches or damage to the surface. My question is: Which cleaning products or methods are safe for the painted finish of MALM furniture?

I have heard that overly aggressive cleaners can dull the finish or even cause fine scratches. Perhaps someone here has experience with specific products or proven household remedies that protect the furniture while cleaning effectively?

It would also be important for me to know whether it’s better to wipe the furniture dry or if a damp cloth with a particular cleaner is recommended. Tips on the correct application and dosage would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Under no circumstances use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals! Only mild soap or plain water with a soft cloth should be used. Wipe dry immediately afterwards.
