Hello everyone, I have noticed that the drawers of my IKEA Malm dressers become very stiff and hard to open over time. This not only affects usability but also increases the strain on the drawer slides. Before attempting a complex repair, I would like to know: What is the most effective way to maintain Malm drawers to make them easier to pull? Are there any recommended lubricants or treatments for the drawer slides that won’t damage the mechanism? And what is the best way to apply them? I appreciate any tips and experiences you can share.
