Cleaning B&O Hifi Cabinet parts
As usual they have the brushed aluminium finish etc in this case for a Beomaster 901 plus other parts.Looking for some guidance for simple clean and wipe over for the unit including wood works etc after completion of minor repair works etc.What the best sprays or cleaners to make these a bit more presentable,they are not seriously tarnished or stained and come from pet free and smoke free home enviroment.

Re: Cleaning B&O Hifi Cabinet parts
A wipe over with a soft cloth with detergent solution is the best first move. I use Fairy liquid. Don't use abrasives.
To finish, I use a soft cloth that's been sprayed over lightly with WD40! It's great for getting rid of fingerprints. The drawback is the characteristic smell. You don't want to get it on anything but the stainless. David

Ammonia works well on grubby finger marks, does not attack plastic or painted legends etc
Keep it off the woodwork Use gloves and good ventilation |

Re: Cleaning B&O Hifi Cabinet parts
Foaming cleanser works well, but be very careful with lettering. I was once cleaning a Technics cassette deck and to my horror the lettering started to wipe off. I managed to save most of it, but have been very careful ever since.
I also wrecked a Philips tuning scale ages ago when I leapt in without knowing any better. |

Re: Cleaning B&O Hifi Cabinet parts
CIF Lemon on a damp cloth works perfectly for the metal parts but, as above - don't scrub too hard!
Give the woodwork a clean with a damp cloth and some detergent if necessary, let it dry fully and then give it a wipe over with some teak oil. |

Re: Cleaning B&O Hifi Cabinet parts
Great many thanks for the advice on the Teak Oil,is that suitable for the darker woods aswell or best to go for shade by shade to suit?Yes the Cif is quite friendly to use so long as diluted well.
