Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your IKEA Pax Corner Wardrobe.

• Cleaning: Wipe clean with a cloth dampened in a mild cleaner. Then wipe dry with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all assembly fittings and retighten them if necessary to ensure the wardrobe remains stable and secure.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not overload shelves or hanging rails beyond their recommended weight capacity to prevent bowing or structural damage.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your wardrobe:

• Wobbly Wardrobe:
  Solution: Ensure all cam locks and screws are fully tightened. Verify that the wardrobe is placed on a level surface. If not, use shims under the base to stabilize it. Re-check wall attachment.
• Doors Not Closing Properly:
  Solution: Check door hinges for proper alignment. Most IKEA hinges allow for adjustment using a screwdriver. Refer to the specific door assembly instructions for detailed adjustment steps. Ensure the wardrobe frame is square.
• Drawers Sticking or Not Sliding Smoothly:
  Solution: Check that the drawer runners are correctly installed and free from obstructions. Ensure the drawer is not overloaded. Lubricate runners with a silicone-based spray if necessary, avoiding oil-based lubricants.
• Scratches or Minor Damage:
  Solution: For minor scratches, IKEA offers touch-up pens or repair kits. Consult IKEA customer service for recommendations.
