Hello everyone,
I recently received several Pax furniture pieces and now want to make sure the surfaces stay scratch-free for as long as possible. My question is: How can I protect the Pax surfaces from scratches?
I’m mainly referring to the fronts and areas that are used regularly, such as doors and drawers. Are there any specific care or protection measures you would recommend?
I am particularly interested in practical tips, for example on using protective films, cleaning methods, or generally how to avoid damage from everyday objects. I use the furniture mainly in the bedroom, with normal use—no workshop or anything like that.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hello Jethomas,
I think your question is very important because furniture, especially the surfaces of Pax wardrobes, is regularly exposed to various stresses. To protect the surfaces from scratches, I recommend the following:
- Do not use aggressive cleaners or abrasive agents, as these can damage the surface.
- Use a soft microfiber cloth for cleaning, slightly dampened only.
- Make sure no small particles like sand or dust remain on the surfaces, as these can cause scratches during cleaning.
- For heavily used areas such as fronts or shelves, you can use special protective films that are transparent and very thin. These can prevent scratches without changing the appearance.
- Avoid placing heavy or sharp objects directly on the surface.
If your furniture has matte surfaces, extra caution is important because scratches are more visible on them. For smooth or glossy surfaces, regular gentle cleaning and protection from mechanical stress usually help.
I hope this helps you!

Additional Information:
The Pax furniture typically features surfaces coated with melamine resin or paint, depending on the model. These surfaces are relatively scratch-resistant but not indestructible.
Some facts and tips:
- Melamine resin surfaces are abrasion-resistant; however, dirt particles such as sand or dust can still cause damage during cleaning.
- Painted surfaces are more prone to scratches, so extra care is needed when cleaning.
- Protective films are a good preventive measure and can be easily removed.
- Alternatively, felt or rubber pads can be placed under decorations or other items to minimize direct contact.
- For cleaning, avoid alkaline or acidic household cleaners; mild soap solutions are recommended.
Regular visual inspections and immediate removal of foreign objects from the surfaces help prevent long-term damage.
In summary, I recommend gentle cleaning, using protective films or pads in critical areas, and exercising caution during use.

A brief guide to protecting Pax surfaces from scratches:
1. Cleaning:
- Always use a dust-free, soft cloth.
- Slightly dampen it with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild dish soap.
- Wipe consistently in the direction of the grain or the regular texture of the surface.
- Avoid circular or vigorous scrubbing motions.
2. Prevention:
- Attach felt pads to the underside of decorative items or handles.
- If you place transport boxes or other objects on the surface, use a protective layer (e.g., fabric, felt).
- Direct sunlight can weaken paints and laminates—ensure shading or privacy protection.
3. Special considerations:
- Avoid placing hot objects directly on the surface.
- If you want to use protective films, there are special transparent furniture protection films that are hardly noticeable.
- Avoid adhesive tapes or stickers on the surfaces, as they can leave residues and cause damage.
Common mistakes:
- Cleaning with all-purpose cleaners or abrasive sponges.
- Placing heavy or sharp-edged items directly on the surface without protection.
Conclusion:
Prevention is key—using gliders or protective films is better than repairing scratches later.
