Hello everyone, I recently assembled my new IKEA Brimnes furniture and am now wondering how to best protect the surface to keep it looking like new for as long as possible. I am especially interested in methods or products that help prevent scratches, minor wear, and general abrasion without negatively affecting the appearance or feel. Are there any home remedies or specialized care products you would recommend? I would also like to know if sealing with a specific type of varnish or wax is advisable and how these should be applied. I look forward to your experiences and tips!

An additional protective film is possible but usually not preferred for aesthetic reasons. This is a crucial point: The benefit of a protective film often conflicts with the appearance. To preserve the original design, it is better to rely on behavioral measures such as regular cleaning and avoiding dirty hands. This approach is more sustainable and effectively prevents damage.

Good morning! A small addition in case someone wants to specially protect heavily used areas: There are also clear water-based furniture lacquers that can be applied thinly. However, be careful, as this changes the surface and is only reliably safe with testing. Ideally, you should always try it first on a backside.
Thank you for the many helpful tips in this thread! I will start by using soft felt pads and keep the cleaning gentle. If I notice in the future that the surface experiences heavy wear, I might take a closer look at clear furniture lacquers. I find the insight that sealants often cause more problems very important.
