Never use undiluted cleaning agents, bleaching agents, ammonia or soap intended for hard surfaces, as this may damage the fabric and Citation speaker itself! Many types of stain can be removed using warm water with a microfiber cloth (not too wet). Stain removal guide If you act quickly with any stains on your Citation device then it is not difficult to remove or avoid any spill/stains. Here is how to do it. First, soak up the liquid with an absorbent napkin or Microfiber cloth. For dried stains use a spoon to roughen the surface. To avoid the stain spreading further start from the edge of the stain working towards the middle. WARNING! Be careful when using solvents, because these could dissolve the upholstery material beneath. Regular and normal cleaning Vacuum frequently every week is the best way to keep the Harman/Kardon Citation fabric intact or use a varm wet Microfiber cloth. When using a vacuum cleaner, remember to set the power to half which is most appropriated to use for Citation devices (this will not harm the design or fabric).
