- 1). Place speaker cabinets away from moving items, such as rocking chairs or recliners, that may bump against them. Lacquered finishes can be dented by hard objects, which also means that you should take precautions when transporting these cabinets. Use bubble wrap or foam to protect the lacquer from items that might bang against the cabinets during transport.
- 2). Dust lacquered speaker cabinets frequently with a soft cloth. There is no need to dampen the cloth with water, but if you do, always follow immediately with a dry cloth so that moisture does not remain on the cabinets. Rjfinewood.com also warns against using oiled or treated cloths on these finishes,
- 3). Do not place drinking glasses or any other items directly on your speaker cabinets. Moisture from these items will leave water rings. In addition, chamidafurniture.com suggests keeping any solvents (including alcohol) away from lacquered furnishings, as solvents will degrade the finish. A good rule of thumb is to never place any items containing liquid on your lacquered speaker cabinets.
- 4). Keep the cabinets dusted and avoid placing spillable items on them to keep from having to wash them. When you do need to clean the cabinets, dampen a cloth and place a small drop of a mild dish detergent on the cloth. Wipe the areas that need to be cleaned and then follow with a damp cloth to rinse off detergent residue. Dry the cabinets immediately with a soft towel.
