Hello, can someone help me? I have a gap between the wardrobe and the floor of about 10 mm and would like to seal it with something like white silicone, but it gets dirty. Is there anything similar that is hard and stays nice?

A wooden trim perhaps?
There are pre-painted white trims in many sizes.
Then fill the remaining gap with acrylic sealant.
Silicone almost never works well in the long run.

I was a bit unclear
The fronts of the wardrobes are not completely smooth, the ends stick out a few mm.
So if I lay a STRAIGHT molding, I still get
a Gap between the molding and the wardrobes.
So then I have to route grooves for the ends so the molding comes in against it.
But maybe it's easiest to do it that way.
I thought there might be a sealant that isn't soft/doesn't get dirty, that would have been perfect there.

You can do it the "right" way too.
1)
Move the wardrobes. Lay them down and saw off the "bottom."
2)
Build a base for the wardrobes to stand on. (2-3 wardrobes?)
The base should follow the floor and be completely horizontal on the top.
3)
Place the wardrobes on the base.

Congratulations!
Did it turn out nicely too?
We'd love to see a picture
