Speaker Cleaning

[alfie]

Hey guys, any thought on the best way to bring a dirty looking white woofer back to glory?
Bleach or paint etc. And best method.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

bleach can be a bit tricky--

a light weight spray of fabric paint seems safest

If the original speakers were a light creme color and not "white white", the best paint to use is Krylon Satin Dover White #2422.

Bleach can work, but just know that if you have stains, the stains will eventually come back over time.

Hey badboybill:
When you bleached those 5085's speakers, did you have to protect the chrome caps or were they ok to get bleach on?

I was very cautious not to get bleach on caps. I used a spray bottle and lightly sprayed white. Let sit for a bit then blow dry. Reapply if needed.

I've also heard about someone using white shoe polish.

What if you have black surrounds and want to protect them?

Are you talking about protecting from paint, shoe polish or bleach ??

I also bleached these white speakers on my Technics and they came out gorgeous it's hard to tell in this pic though!!!

Any of the above

Just mask them off?

While we are on the subject, i want to change the speakers of my Phillips AZ1030/17 to white. They are black now, and don't have any chrome rings around it. Bleach paint or what? and if its paint, how to paint it with what type of paint? thnkz.
