              After you dock her pay for the cost of the replacements, make it clear to her that she is NEVER AGAIN to clean within ten feet of your system. You will clean that area yourself, and she must STAY AWAY from your stuff.

                What does your maid recommend for plasma displays, Bon Ami and a sponge or just the ususal Brillo pad followed by a good coat of Pledge? :rolleyes:

                  Actually Bon Ami is a very soft mild cleanser. Good on plastic and painted surfaces. The original "soft scrub."
                  It's not really even tough enough to clean dirty porcelain in a toilet or a bathtub.
                  Of course that doesn't mean I would use it on a flat screen TV.
                  But, I've used Bon Ami numerous times to clean the cases of old white CRT monitors and CPU cases.

                  Use Pepsodent and you'll wonder where the yellow went!

                      Most vacuum cleaners have a brush attachment. Typically a rather stiff fiber or bristle of some sort.
                      I have a soft camel or horse hair brush attachment (not sure what hair) that I keep/use exclusively for dusting my delicate electronics. I am always very careful as to the amount of pressure I apply. I've used it to clean woofers and tweeters with no problem.
                      I don't use this brush on anything else, just my electronics. If it gets dirty, I wash/rinse it by hand and let it air dry.

                        I feel your pain brother. I had a lady use Old English Lemon Oil on a pair of ScanSpeak paper woofers. Now, industrial strength grill cloth. While it's not my driver, I have a $300 Accuton tweeter missing the diaphragm out in the garage -- just to remind me.

                            For a brief semi-digression, I would like to reduce that dust attraction of coated-paper ScanSpeak Revelators. I was wondering if a quick, light wipe with Armour-all would be okay? Or am I just crazy?

                              The cones disintegrated. Don't know what to tell you on the tweeter coating. I have a pair like that, I've just left them alone.
