Hello everyone,
some time ago, I bought an Ikea Pax wardrobe with wooden fronts and a matte finish. Now I am wondering how to properly care for these matte surfaces to preserve their original look for as long as possible without damaging or discoloring the finish.
I am especially interested in tips on cleaning (which cleaning agents are suitable), dealing with stains or scratches, and if there are any specific considerations when treating wood with a matte finish.
Additionally, I would like to know if there are special care products recommended for this type of surface or if simple home remedies are sufficient.
I look forward to your expert advice and experiences!

A mild cleaning agent, such as pH-neutral soap or a special wood cleaner, is recommended.I fully agree with this as a key point. Matte surfaces react sensitively to overly aggressive products.
Additionally, a tip: avoid using polishing sponges or coarse scrubbers. Microfiber cloths are best suited to preserve the matte appearance and prevent damage.
For long-term care, treatment with oil or wax is not necessary; in fact, it can cause unwanted shiny spots.
Another important point is that direct sunlight can cause the surface to fade over time. Therefore, the PAX should ideally not be exposed to intense sunlight on a permanent basis.
