Vacuum around a speaker cover gently,
so
that the
speaker won’t be damaged. Some spots and stains will
clean
off
better with just water and mild soap.

something gets on one of them and you need to use a
solvent, follow these steps:
Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with
a clean, dull knife or scraper. Use very little cleaner,
light pressure and clean cloths (preferably
cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at
the
outside
of
the stain, “feathering” toward the center. Keep
changing
to
a
clean section of the cloth.
