Hello everyone, I have a specific question about Ikea Brimnes furniture in a household with pets. Since these pieces are usually made of painted MDF or coated chipboard, I’m unsure about the best way to clean them without damaging the surface, while still removing pet hair, scratches, and possibly paw print stains. What cleaning methods or home remedies work particularly well to keep the furniture clean without harming the coating? And if anyone has experience with special cleaning products that are pet-safe and gentle on the materials, I would really appreciate your advice. Especially with cats or dogs, I often worry that harsh cleaners might prematurely damage the furniture. Thanks in advance for your answers!

Which pH-neutral cleaners can you recommend without hesitation?Many drugstores offer pH-neutral cleaners specifically designed for coated furniture. It is important that they do not contain abrasives or alcohol. Common household solutions that often work well are diluted vinegar in water (use cautiously due to the smell and acidity) or a mixture of water with a few drops of baby shampoo.
Regarding your care tips: - Regular dusting prevents hair and dust from scratching the surface. - It is better to blot damp stains than to let them soak in for a long time. - You can apply furniture wax or special wax-based furniture polish every few months to reinforce the protective layer.
How exactly do you currently clean and which products do you use?
