dim the finish. Occasionally polish them with a dry or barely moist cloth to remove dust and finger marks, etc.

 if there are children or pets in 

Occasionally, remove the loudspeaker grilles and brush them gently with a soft brush before replacing them carefully.

Avoid getting any liquid behind the grille. If you spill liquid on your loudspeakers, take them to your dealer for attention before using them

We advise that you do not use a vacuum cleaner to clean loudspeaker grilles.

We advise that you do not place anything on your loudspeakers to prevent damage to the cabinet surface.
