Hello everyone, I have Ikea Metod kitchen cabinet fronts with integrated handles in my apartment and I am looking for the best way to clean these doors gently and effectively. It is important to me that the surface does not get damaged, as the white doors are relatively delicate, and that the integrated handles, where dirt and dust often accumulate, get thoroughly cleaned without too much effort. I would like to know which cleaning products and techniques you recommend here—whether special dish soap, all-purpose cleaners, microfiber cloths, or other tools are better suited. Which products and methods have worked well for you, especially regarding the integrated handles, which are a bit harder to reach? Thanks in advance for your tips!
For precise drying of the handle recesses, I recommend using a small, dry cotton cloth, carefully inserted into the recess and applied several times. Alternatively, lint-free cotton swabs work well to effectively absorb water residues even in hard-to-reach areas.
From a hygiene perspective, it is also helpful to clean these areas thoroughly on a regular basis—about once a week—to prevent the buildup of grease or dust.
Prolonged moisture promotes deposits and significantly makes cleaning more difficult.

I wanted to give some brief feedback: I have tried several methods now. Dish soap with warm water and a microfiber cloth works great, and using a toothbrush for the grooves is a simple and effective tip.
I deliberately avoided vinegar because I didn’t want to take any risks. Baking soda paste feels too abrasive for the surface, at least that’s my impression.
Drying the grooves with a small, dry cloth makes a big difference, especially since I often noticed the grooves looking a bit darker and dirtier afterward—this was probably due to residual moisture mixed with dried-in dirt.
Thanks to everyone who shared their tips so thoroughly here!
