    It's treated cloth, very doubtful Windex, Fantastic, or 409 with a Q-Tip will hurt the dome or the doping they used. I cleaned quite a few that way. The metal bezel can be cleaned with a soft cloth. I've even painted quite a number of Peerless tweeters. I found a prescription bottle cap that fits perfectly in the small grove where the dome attaches to the bezel. Hold the cap in place with a pencil, or rod, then shoot some satin/flat Krylon. They'll look nearly new afterwards.
    I'm sure you know how to clean the woofers properly by now.
