Hello everyone,
I recently discovered heavy limescale deposits and stains on a Malm surface (specifically on a sideboard from this series) following water damage. The surface is made of MDF with a special coating that is said to be sensitive to aggressive cleaning agents.
My question is: How can I effectively and gently remove limescale deposits or buildup from Malm surfaces? Are there any proven products or methods that protect the coating while removing the limescale marks?
It is important to me that the surface does not become dull or damaged, as I want to preserve the piece of furniture as much as possible.
Thanks in advance for your tips and experiences!

That’s how I will proceed. I’ll look for a suitable furniture care product and test it first on a hidden corner.

That sounds interesting, I’ve never heard of that before. Thanks for sharing!
I’ll report back once I’ve tried it.

Recommendation: 1. Gently remove limescale with a damp microfiber cloth and a mild neutral cleaner. 2. If needed, work mechanically with a soft sponge. 3. Then apply furniture polish.

Sometimes dry talcum powder helps, gently rubbed in with the cloth.

Quick update: I started with lukewarm water and dish soap, then gently treated the lime scale spots with a soft sponge.
The surface has remained glossy so far, with no dull areas.
I also bought a furniture care product based on wax and will try it tomorrow to refresh the protection.
Thanks to everyone for the many tips and recommendations; they gave me a lot of confidence!
