Title: How do you guys dust your speakers?
Post by: Maxwell_E on July 26, 2010, 03:25:30 PM

Seriously. This has always given me trouble. I'm afraid to mess up paper cones with any chemicals or water, and there's always that stubborn dust that sticks to the foam-rubber surround on the edge of the cone. I've got half a mind to bring the compressed air in to do the job.

A soft paint brush dusts well.  I use Purdy brushes.  (Yes, seriously, that is the name of the manufacturer)

Hmm. I shall give that a try. And yes, I know Purdy brushes very well from my summers in manual labor.

I use compressed air or a swiffer duster if I am feeling lazy and don't feel like dragging my scuba tanks upstairs. Would imagine any type of feather duster or soft bristled brush would work fine.
