The BEST grill cleaner......

[brettw22]

I've gone through different stuff in the past for cleaning off the grills, most effective has been the little bristle brush that pretty much every vacuum has. The only problem I've found is that it doesn't clean off the surface dust all that well, let alone any that's been in there for long.

I've had one of these for a while, but never really used it, but my grill cloth is lookin virtually brand new after goin over them with this thing. I'd highly recommend it to anyone with a hose attachment type of vaccum

What you can't see in the picture on the following link, is that the outside bristles aren't all there is to the thing. There is a center section with 3 rotating bristles that spin from the suction of the vacuum that do a DAMN good job of cleaning off the grills, or any other fabric upholstery.

Just wanted to pass it along if anyone was interested....

EDIT: One thing I forgot to mention.....because of the bristles inside that are spinnin, it makes a pretty loud whirling sound.....little irritating, but it's a night and day difference between the standard bristle brush.........

I personally use water and a rag.....

[brettw22]

water's bad because it can stretch the fabric.........the rag can more often than not leave behind fabric on the grill that you're trying to take off........

ive had the rti70 for about 2 weeks now, grills look the same, no dust,dirt,hairs on it..........

where as the rt35i has been sitting there for 2 weeks and needs a serious cleaning..........

I usually set fire to my grills and blame it on the next door neighbor....that damn firebug.

I have used a clothing lint brush...the reverse masking tape kind...and it works fine for me. That is an interesting link Brett...I think you stay up too late at night tho'.... :)

EDIT: Now that I think about it, how pathetic is it that we are cleaning lint off of speaker grilles....man I am loading the shotgun now....too shoot others.

I prefer the lint roller thing and for the record, I always find that cleaning my grills at 3am makes the music sound better.

If the grilles are too dirty, I first spray some compressed air on them. It usually loosens up the build up and should take out almost everything. I then vacuum the rest and the grilles look brand new again.
I didn't to clean my LSi grille yet. They're about 10 months old and still super clean.

To clean the speaker cabinet and componenets, I use swiffer. Swiffer will keep your speakers and gear looking like new for as long as you own them.
