The dust in life is everywhere, and there are annoying pet hair. If you are a HiFi audio or a home theater enthusiast, you are likely to face these problems often. Over time, dust will attach to your speaker's cabinet and mesh, while larger dust will penetrate into your speaker components, into the tweeter and woofer, potentially affecting the sound.
Whether it is floor-standing boxes, bookshelf, or even some Bluetooth speakers, , cleaning your speakers every once in a while can ensure that they remain nice and beautiful for a period of time, and this is not complicated, and you can do it with the tools at hand.
The following is the basic tutorial.
Steps:
Clean the audio box
Clean mesh cover
Clean woofer
Clean tweeter
Difficulty: Simple
Time spent: 10 minutes
Tools required: two or more clean fine fiber cloths, a soft brush, a can of compressed air, cleaning wipes for electronic devices and tools for cleaning speakers.
Although most of the components of the speaker are inside the box, keeping it beautiful will also make you feel happy.
For regular maintenance, you need multiple damp microfiber cloths, and you can even prepare some clean cotton cloth to wipe the dust on your speaker box. Whether they are made of wood or MDF , this is a relatively safe choice.
Cleaning the box
Step 1: First, you need two velvet-free microfiber cloths - soak one of the microfiber cloths in advance.
Step 2: Wipe on several sides of the speaker. If it is woody, please wipe in the same direction as the wood grain.
Step 3: Now pick up the second piece of dry microfiber cloth and wipe the speaker again to absorb moisture remaining on the surface. Microfiber cloth can also absorb the surface adherent fluff.
Clean mesh cover
Some HiFi enthusiasts think it is a stupid thing to install a mesh cover - whether it is a soft or hard mesh cover - to cover the beautiful speaker unit underneath. I admit that when installing a net cover, the speaker will lose its color, but often it can protect the woofer and tweeter while adding a refined atmosphere to the speaker. However, the mesh is very easy to absorb dust, debris and pet hair, so it also requires cleaning and maintenance. Here is how to clean the mesh without breaking it.
Step 1: If your mesh is fabric-like and there is only some light dust or pet hair on it, you can gently roll it on it with a sticky fluff brush. Make sure the drum stickers are clean, not do it after you have just glued your sweater.

Step 2: In order to clean it more thoroughly, we recommend removing the mesh cover from the speaker first. Different mesh covers have different connection methods, so if you are not sure how to take them off, please consult your speaker instructions or consult a dealer. However, in most cases, they are connected to the sockets at the four corners of the cabinet surface through a rubber plug. Gently remove the mesh from the top and bottom of the box. If there are screws, remove them and remove the mesh cover.

Step 3: After removing the mesh cover, place it flat on a clean surface. Use vacuum cleaner with soft, clean brush accessories and gently suck on the surface of the mesh cover, be careful not to open too much suction.
Step 4: You can also wipe it with a damp microfiber cloth. But to remove more stubborn dirt, dip your cloth into some warm water and gentle detergent and gently do circular motions on the mesh. Use another clean cloth, dip it in some clean water and slightly wet it, rinse the area you just treated, and finally let it air dry.
Step 5: Metal or plastic mesh cover, cleaning is easier. Just wash it directly with water and detergent. Finally, you can air-dry it naturally or gently pat it with a clean cloth.

Some of them are more expensive than others and can easily be exposed if you are not careful, but most of them are stronger than you think.
Step 1: For finer steroid diaphragms, such as paper, it is best not to use anything wet or damp to wipe; instead try using a soft bristle brush (such as a paint brush or makeup brush) to dust off dust or dirt. You can also use a can of compressed air for electronic devices to blow away dust.

Step 2: For diaphragms made of more elastic materials, such as wood or polymers, you can first brush with a brush, or air blow with it. But then you can pick up the wet microfiber cloth and wipe them gently. However, be careful not to touch the dust cap, as this may cause it to recess.
Step 3: Wipe the diaphragm with a dry microfiber cloth.

Step 4: Finally, you can also wipe the soft rubber or foam folding ring around the woofer with a safe rubber care product.

Cleaning Tweeter
This is the trickiest part. It is generally a sturdy woofer and midrange units, but the tweeter - usually the small speakers on the top of the box, which is responsible for all the high frequencies - that's another matter. It consists of extremely sensitive cones and spheres, diaphragms, coils and other fragile components, usually do not try to touch or wipe them. On the contrary, air is a good helper.
pick up that can of compressed air again and make sure to place it at least 10 cm from the tweeter and blow it a few quick blows. If you are careful enough, you can also use a soft bristle brush to wipe it gently, if possible, use the kind of hair dryer brush used by photographers in the camera cleaning tool.

Remember, this article should be suitable for basic cleaning of most speakers. Of course, if there is special dirt or stubborn stains or residues, please deal with them as appropriate and you may need to consult a professional. The last thing people want to see is to break a pair of expensive speakers. It may seem like something that is too scary to start, but keeping your expensive speakers clean and beautiful is certainly not a bad thing, and you only need to do it a few times a year.
