The two Ones have been set at the edge of the kitchen, so after being there a couple of years, they have stains. What is the best way to clean the stains? I would worry about getting liquid inside the holes and damaging the electronics. Let me know how you have cleaned yours: what cleaner and what technique you used.

First a careful dusting with canned air.

Then a couple drops of mild dish soap on the smooth, then fuzzy side of a nearly dry / barely damp microfiber rag. You want anything outside off first, then to reach into the holes a bit.

If you have hard water use distilled water, NOT bottled spring or drinking water as they are often worse than tap water.

Still crud in the holes? A dry --  extra soft -- toothbrush gently applied and another rag wipe.

Let them dry then go back with the fuzzy side of a dry microfiber rag and give them a good rub.

Follow with one last canned air cleaning.

 

Most important, get a set of speaker covers, SoundSkins, homemade, whatever and don't gunk them up again.

I think the key in ​@Stanley_4 ‘s post is to apply the cleaner to the cleaning towel, and not to spray anything on the speaker.
