Hello everyone, I have a question about practical cleaning of Malm furniture from Ikea. I’ve noticed that despite regular care, dust, small stains, or grease marks still appear on the surface, especially on white versions where it is very noticeable. I’m interested in how to clean Malm furniture easily and effectively without damaging the material or causing dull spots. Do you use special cleaning products, or are simple household remedies enough? And what exactly is your approach, especially for more stubborn dirt? I look forward to your tips and experiences!
Hello heide6, I’ll try to provide a clear overview of the tips that have already been shared here.
There seems to be a general consensus that Malm furniture should be treated with mild cleaners and minimal moisture to avoid damaging the coating.
That sums it up well. In addition to cleaning, regular gentle dusting is important to keep basic dirt levels low.
Personally, I also like to use a special furniture care cloth that contains a small amount of oil to repel dust – just make sure before buying that the cloth is suitable for melamine resin-coated surfaces.
It is important to always test tougher stains first in an inconspicuous area.
Finally: let it dry thoroughly! Moisture is the biggest enemy of coated furniture.
