Hello everyone, I recently received a new kitchen with IKEA Metod matte finish fronts and am currently unsure about the best way to clean them gently and effectively.

I am particularly interested in which cleaning products I can use without damaging the matte surface or making it shiny. Are there specific techniques to keep the fronts looking matte and fresh for a longer time?

Additionally, I would like to know how to deal with stubborn stains without harming the surface.

I appreciate any detailed answers, as I am not yet familiar with the material and want to treat the surface with care.

As a supplementary note: The Ikea Metod matte lacquered fronts are not designed for mechanical reworking. Any sanding or grinding can cause uneven surface textures that will be noticeable.

I would recommend contacting the manufacturer or Ikea directly regarding replacement parts if the shiny spots are bothersome. For daily maintenance, continue to use mild cleaning solutions, avoid solvents, and do not use abrasive cloths.

In addition to the previous recommendations: Never clean the fronts with too much water, as standing moisture can cause the edges to swell.

After cleaning, the surfaces should be thoroughly dried. Also, avoid using steam cleaners, as the heat could damage the surface.
