How do you clean your speaker grills?

I have a pair of Sonus Faber Grand Pianos and would like to clean the silk speaker grills, specifically with the dust/lint specs stuck at the grills. They are not dirty or anything, just annoying to know that dust is accumulating and can't seem to get rid of it simply by dusting.

Anyone has a good way of cleaning them without damaging the material? (i.e. vacuum, water shower, etc.)

Take 'em off and throw 'em in the closet. They get in music's way most of the time.

Using a vacuum cleaner while being careful not to snag anything (grills off speaker). Also, sometimes using one of those pressurized air-in-a-can (again, grills off).

The absolute best way is to us a length of clear 3" shipping tape. Start at top and gently place against grill and then slowly remove, continue down and use more tape as needed.

Grills will look like new and when you look at the used pieces of tape, you will be amazed at what it removes.

I wonder why they use silk? I think that silk has a tendency to pick up and hold a static electric charge, and that would attract dist. Good old loose-weave burlap is cheap and withstands any cleaning method.
