Hello everyone,
I was wondering how you folks clean / polish / keep shining the wooden cabinets and have any suggestion to share.
I have the Axiom fronts, surrounds and sub-woofer all in cherry finish.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Vivek

Viv, there's really no special care required. I occasionally dust mine with a microfiber cloth like those used for car finish care.

You could call Axiom to see what they recommend. Sorry, I have custom vinyl and just use a swiffer now and then to keep them dusted.

I vacuume the dust off the tops and wipe them down with a microfiber cloth. I have the HG cherry and even the smallest little fingerprint is visible and bothers me. So i keep em shining their best  I vaccume and then wipe off all my gear once a week. I suppose you could say im a bit anal about keeping my stereo gear, and everything for that fact clean and brand new looking.

Pressure Washer. Well, I don't own the Algonquins yet, but when I do, that's how I'll clean them!

Swifter! A quick pass most everyday at about Mach .04 and all the electronics are clean!

The standard cherry vinyl is very resilient. If a guest uses a tower speaker for a coaster (it happens, I know) you can remove a ring with a damp cloth and it won't hurt the speaker finish at all. The real-wood finish is similarly tough - but mustard will stain it if you leave it on overnight. I'm not sure what circumstances would lead to that, but it was a warning in the product literature!
For general day-to-day care, the other suggestions are perfect - microfibre cloth or a vacuum with a duster attachment on it.

Only problem I found with a vacumn is it can leave a static charge and attract dust particles. an anti static wiper thingy works best and keeps them dust free longer.
