Hello everyone, I recently got a Kallax shelf from Ikea, and in everyday use, I’m increasingly bothered by small crumbs and dust buildup inside the compartments. The thing is, you usually can’t easily remove the shelf, and fully emptying and moving it isn’t an option for me since it’s fixed to the wall and loaded with many items.

My question to you is: How do you clean your Kallax compartments effectively and thoroughly without having to take the shelf apart or empty it completely? What tricks or tools do you use to reach stuck crumbs or dust inside the compartments with minimal effort? Are there any special cleaning methods or devices that have proven particularly useful?

I’m looking forward to your experiences and tips to solve this issue as simply and sustainably as possible.

For compartments that are hard to reach, it is worth placing a vacuum cleaner with a narrow nozzle at the front and then gently sweeping the crumbs forward with a small brush. This usually works well without having to remove the items.
