How to clean cloth on electronics?

Ergroilnin

So,

 

unfortunately my friend spilled some drink on one of my G560 satellites and though thankfully both the RGB and the sound output are completely fine, the cloth on the satellite has visible darker shade where it was spilt on, which is annoying.

 

Is there any way to safely clean the cloth on the satellite, since it is not removable?

 

Sorry if I should've posted this somewhere else, I was not sure. If that's the case, please move it to correct section.

Beyond scrubbing it gently with another wet/soapy cloth gently and in a controlled manner?

@RyzenDoctor Well I tried it with wet cloth but since it was sugary drink, it is not really working. Somehow using soap on speaker seems not such a good idea? What about Isopropyl alcohol, could I use that?

Fully disassemble it?

99% alcohol is another thing that could work, just don't soak it too much, if it's glued on, it might come undone.

ideally if you can disassemble it and soak the foam that would be best. But if you can't wiping it with some soap and water gently (dont immerse) then followed by a wet cloth may loosen things up a bit.

 

Honestly most of these speakers are relatively "disposable" 

 

High end speakers can be disassembled somewhat for cleaning

Try a light spray of OxyClean.  Just a spray -- no rubbing.  OxyClean can disrupt the chemical bond in some things that create the color so this is just an attempt to make the stain invisible.
