Hello everyone, I am looking for effective methods to improve the cleaning of Ikea Metod kitchen fronts, especially for grease stains. The fronts are usually high-gloss or matte lacquered or laminated, so of course, you want to avoid damaging or making the surface look worse. Currently, I mostly use dish soap with water, but the grease stains are hard to remove completely, especially when they have dried in. I am interested in which cleaning products and techniques really work well without damaging the surface. Are there any household remedies that can be safely used? And what about stronger cleaners or microfiber cloths? It would be great if someone could share their experiences and maybe also tips on the right cleaning frequency. Thank you!

Are there also problems with streaks when using these cleaners, or does the surface always stay nice? Oh yes, streaks are the silent arch-enemy of every high-gloss kitchen! My advice: always dry-polish after cleaning—preferably with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. This usually removes the streaks completely. Also, don’t use too much cleaning product, or you’ll quickly get a greasy film. A lightly damp cloth is more than enough.
Thank you for the tip about distilled water; it makes sense considering the limescale stains. I will try that for future cleaning. Overall, I see that cleaning grease stains on Ikea Metod fronts requires a lot of care, good quality cloths, and the right amount of cleaning agent. Another important point for me is to clean promptly to avoid stubborn stains. Still looking for: a proven method for stubborn grease stains that don’t come off the first time.
For stubborn grease stains, I recommend: - Use a mild, oil-based kitchen cleaner specifically designed to break down grease. However, avoid anything too harsh! - Let the cleaner sit for a short time, max. 2–3 minutes. - Then gently wipe off with a damp microfiber cloth. - If needed, follow up with a bit of isopropyl alcohol to remove any remaining residue. It is important to immediately wipe again with clear water and dry thoroughly afterward to avoid any residues or dull spots. Always test the cleaner first on an inconspicuous area to ensure it does not damage the surface.
