Hello everyone, I recently renovated our apartment and during the process, the IKEA Hemnes furniture set, especially the white dresser and wardrobe, was exposed to heavier dust and construction dirt. My question is: What is the best way to clean IKEA Hemnes after renovations without damaging the surface or finish? Are there specific cleaning products or methods that are particularly suitable for gently and effectively removing fine construction dust, paint residues, or dust? It would be great if you could share your experiences with tips on the procedure, suitable materials, or any warnings, so I don’t make any mistakes.
In addition to the tips mentioned, I recommend performing a test on an inconspicuous area before carrying out a full cleaning. This way, you can ensure that the cleaning agent does not damage the surface. It is also advisable to clean in several stages when dealing with heavy dirt, rather than scrubbing aggressively.
If you still have fine construction dust after tiling or painting, it can sometimes help to gently wipe the furniture with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. For stubborn stains, use vinegar-free cleaners, as vinegar might damage the material. It is best to avoid chemical products containing harsh solvents.

For paint splatters, it’s best to act as quickly as possible using a gentle solvent, such as a little alcohol on a cloth, to avoid damaging the surface. Please test on an inconspicuous area first. Thank you for the advice about acting quickly on paint stains. Unfortunately, I only just read this, and some paint splatters have been on the surface for a while. Could trying to remove them now with alcohol or isopropyl alcohol have negative effects? Or is it still worth trying?

Could it have a negative effect if I only now try to remove it using alcohol or isopropyl alcohol? The likelihood of causing significant damage to the surface through the use of alcohol at this stage is low. However, it may be more challenging to fully remove older paint residues without leaving traces. It is important to proceed carefully and use a soft cloth. Alternatively, mechanical methods such as a plastic scraper can be gently used to lift dried paint spots safely.
