Hi

Might be a straight forward question but I'm sure sure what to use.

My kitchen and lounge are open plan and unfortunate when I cook the smell and oil in the air tends to spread through to the lounge

Noticed on my B&W's the other day that they are slight taky to touch and I am guessing this is from cooking food.

Can anyone suggest what might be a good product to clean this from my speakers without damaging the veneer?

Thanks

Re: Cleaning my Speakers

You can get special cleaning foam for audio gear and computers.  We used it in the pro audio company I used to work in, but for the life of me, I cannot remember what it is.

Sure it was antistatic cleaner of some type though.

Johnson,s baby wipes, honest they are very good and kind to the surface, used to clean stainless steel signs with them.

I'd say a soft duster, with some warm water and a bit of Fairy liquid (other detergents are available...).
