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!

Apply protective films only on areas that are subject to high wearI agree with that. Don’t cover the entire surface right away, as it can quickly look artificial. Small, smart measures are often sufficient.
