Calling all electrostatic speaker owners

What are the sonic symptoms of a dusty electrostatic panel? Is vacuuming the best cleaning method?

Thanks.

The panels will no longer hold an electrostatic charge. Duke Electrostat owner starting in 1995, SoundLab dealer since 1999

Just because you have never washed you car doesn't mean it doesn't need it :) But more seriously, an electrostatic charge attracts dust which over time may degrade sound quality.
