Hello everyone,
I’m looking for tips and proven methods here in the forum to prevent scratches on Malm furniture from IKEA. I recently bought several pieces, mainly dressers and desks, and I’m already noticing some signs of wear in the form of small scratches on the surfaces. Since I care about both the appearance and maintaining the value, I’m wondering which strategies or protective measures have worked best.
For example, I’m interested in whether certain cleaning products, protective films, or specific placement in the room can help. Are there also precautions to take during use, such as using coasters or padding on drawer edges?
I look forward to your experiences and advice!

Do not place furniture close to doors or passagewaysAbsolutely correct, this prevents unnecessary scratches from bumps. Also, when moving furniture, never drag it; always lift it to protect the finish and edges.
Thanks to everyone for the valuable information! I will definitely try felt pads and protective film now, and also pay attention to suitable care products. Using cushions in the drawers also sounds like a good idea.
How do protective films affect the appearance? Do they become noticeable quickly or do they alter the otherwise simple and elegant design?

How well do protective films actually fit with the overall look?They work really well – if you use matte, transparent films, they are barely noticeable. I had almost invisible stickers myself, which can only be seen on closer inspection. So, great for the appearance! 🙂
