It’s been almost two years since I purchased my Ikea Hemnes dresser, in white no less.  I remember friends telling me to buy the stained white version because it repelled stains a lot more than the plain white version. It’s been almost two years and my Hemnes dresser looks fairly new thanks to some savvy upkeep.

If you’re like me – a makeup junkie – you probably stain a lot of light colored furniture and walls.  Thankfully, I figured out a very easy solution to erasing those stains on my non-lacquered furniture, returning them to their original color.  Watch the video below and see how easily two of my favorite beauty staples clean my stained furniture.

It’s worth noting that lacquered furniture can be easily cleaned by using a non-abrasive cleaner like Method or Mrs. Myers All-Purpose cleaning spray or Lysol Disinfecting Wipes to easily wipe off dirt and grime.
