Good morning everyone, I have a rather specific question regarding the cleaning and maintenance of Ikea PAX systems. I am interested in how to clean my wardrobe from the PAX series effectively and, above all, sustainably, without risking damage to the materials or using harsh chemicals. Which products or methods are particularly suitable when you also want to prioritize environmental friendliness? And what is the best way to clean the combination of glass and wood surfaces, as well as the interior, to ensure the long-term functionality of the sliding doors and drawers? I look forward to your experiences and tips, including recommendations for homemade cleaning solutions.

Do not use solvents, acetate- or ammonia-based cleaners as they damage the surface.I agree with that. I also recommend being aware that sustainability often requires balancing material care and environmental friendliness. Ultimately, it also helps to adjust cleaning intervals instead of scrubbing constantly. Sometimes less is more.
An addition on sustainable cleaning: If you use homemade cleaners, be sure to follow the correct mixing ratio, as vinegar can damage adhesive films if used improperly.
For protection and maintenance, I also recommend occasional care with natural wax for wood surfaces, especially if Pax elements are made of real wood or wood veneers that require special treatment.
And very important: Remove dirt and liquids as quickly as possible to prevent permanent stains or swelling. Sustainable means not only environmentally friendly but also keeping the cabinet in good condition for a longer time.
