Hello everyone,
I have some quite stubborn stains on the doors of my Ikea PAX wardrobe that cannot be removed with regular cleaning. The doors are white, and unfortunately, the stains seem to have penetrated somewhat. These stains mainly come from clothing, but also occasionally from pens or makeup.
My question is: How can I effectively remove such stubborn stains from the PAX doors without damaging the surface? What cleaning products or methods would you recommend that are specifically suitable for the coated surfaces of the PAX doors? I am looking for a solution that cleans deeply, gently, and thoroughly, without damaging the paint or the melamine coating.
Thanks for your tips!

What about the long-term effects? Is there a risk that alcohol will permanently dull the coating?In theory, yes, isopropyl alcohol can damage the surface if used frequently. However, this depends heavily on the type of material finish and the concentration used.
In practice: For IKEA Pax doors with a melamine surface, I would only apply isopropyl alcohol spot-wise and no more often than necessary.
- Generally, less frequent use is better.
- It’s important to thoroughly wipe off any residue after use.

Avoid sharp objects.That’s an important point. Some people try to remove stains with knife blades or similar tools – this permanently damages the surface and leaves visible marks.
My conclusion:
Using isopropyl alcohol sparingly and carefully works well. Aggressive scrubbing or frequent applications will definitely cause long-term damage.
Maybe you could share your experiences if you have been using these methods for a while.
