bwilbur Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I am trying to resurrect a pair of chorus II that haven't been in use for 8+ years. The first step is to clean the black cloth covers. Unfortunately, a small dog had sprayed the bottom of the covers while in storage. Up close, it looks like little white crystals embedded in the cloth. I have soaked them for a few hours in warm water and laundry detergent and the stains have faded. Does anyone have any experience in removing this type of residue? If you are thinking that I deserve this for letting the speakers sit this long, you are probably right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Unfortunately, a small dog had sprayed the bottom of the covers while in storage. The dog was probably upset about being put in storage. If you use the search function here (search for "urine"), you should get a lot of info. There was a recent thread on removing cat spray that might be helpful.

CECAA850 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Find the dog, give him lots of water and let him pee on the rest of the grill untill it's all the same color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 If the dog sprayed the the entire speaker, grills AND all the carpets, the speakers would simply disappear, right? OH Yeah!, my wife is going to raise an eyebrown when she comes home and finds me holding each of our 5 dogs above my Jubilee's with an IV of water plugged into them [G] [&] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivernuggets Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Does anyone have any experience in removing this type of residue? Vinegar (1/3) and water (2/3) removes cat urine from clothing. Soaking overnight in a sink does the trick. Don't know how it would do with dog urine on a grille, but it's worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted February 3, 2011 Moderators Share Posted February 3, 2011 Welcome What about brushing them lightly with a soft brush while there still dry to remove whatever you can then try to clean with liquid. If all else fails you could replace the cloth as a last resort. And keep the dog away. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAKO Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I would replace the grill cloth and donate the dog to a chinese restaurant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just see the assembly line at your house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just see the assembly line at your house. This is a true story.... I do not know how to really relate it since part of it requires a visual. The visual (which I'll get to below) is of your wife holding, say... a skunk at arms length away from her so the belly of the skunk is facing away from her, towards you. My wife & I left town for several days. Left our (then) two dogs at a kennel. Upon coming home we went to get them. One of them is small and easily picked up. Seems the kennel had not led them out in a while AND she (the dog, not the wife []) had issues of holding herself when she got excited. Wife stoops down to pick her up and all the sudden, she starts peeing (the dog). My wife points her arms and therefore the dog towards me saying "she's peeing, she's peeing" and the wife is waiving her arms (and therefore the dog) on front of her. Meanwhile, because of these actions, what was really happening on MY side of this equation is the wife was flipping out, the dog was peeing and the wife was waiving the dog in front of me as I (unsuccessfully) continued trying to dodge this stream that was shooting towards me. In a nervous and sick sort of way, we still laugh about that today. Much more fun hearing the wife describe it as she mimmicks the movements she went through.
