Steps For Cleaning Sonos Roam:
1: Remove Dust From Storage Area
If your Sonos Roam has a designated area where it stays for most of the time, chances are the area is dusty.
To ensure that the Roam will be placed back in a dust-free area when it is done being cleaned, this area must be cleaned first.
To begin, use a household vacuum, or this highly rated shark vacuum, to suck up any dirt or debris around where your Sonos Roam lives, whether it be on a shelf, in an entertainment center, or in your car’s center console…who knows.
2: Remove Dust From the Sonos Roam (No Contact)
Before you begin removing the dust, ensure you have a clean place to work. If you already do, continue reading.
The goal is to remove all the dust without rubbing it into the surface of the Roam, as both the speaker mesh and other surface materials can scratch easily.
To remove dust from the Sonos Roam, spray the entire surface area with compressed air to remove as much as possible, with as little contact as possible.
Make sure to spray all particles out of the perforated speaker mesh, as this can greatly improve sound quality.
- If the speaker mesh holes aren’t clear yet, continue on to step 3.

3: Remove Dust From the Sonos Roam (Contact)
After compressed air has been used to remove dust from the Roam, it is safe to initiate a contact-based cleaning method.
If your Sonos Roam speaker grill still has dirt stuck in the perforations, use a household vacuum to suck the dirt out of the holes. Be careful to not scratch the mesh with the tip of the vacuum.
Once done, spray the endcaps and base of the Roam with a soapy water solution, avoiding spraying directly onto the speaker mesh or button controls. Wipe the area with a microfiber cloth.
At this stage 99% of the dust and dirt will be removed from the surface of the Roam, exposing larger bits of grime that will be targeted next.
4: Sanitize the Sonos Roam
Use 70% Isopropyl alcohol disinfectant wipes to wipe down the entire surface, including the speaker mesh, of the Sonos Roam.
This will cut through any grease that may be on the surface of plastic, speaker grille, and buttons, as well as eliminate small smudges and scuffs.
5: Place Sonos Roam Back In Its Home
Congratulations, you have successfully cleaned your Sonos Roam. This will greatly improve the visual appearance, and potentially the sound quality.
Now that it is clean, place the Roam back in place or take it out on your next adventure, so you can begin listening to riveting soundtracks no matter where you are.
