What's the best way for cleaning foam grills on amplifiers? Got a few amps in the rack that have the foam filters clogged up with dust, and are a little brittle.. Any tips/advice welcome.. Cheers :)

After a while they go to dust. Better replace than renovate.

bear in mind that some amps ( Lab Gruppen) in particular use carbonised reticulated foam as it attracts dust particles more effectively- these are generally available from dealers / service centres for a couple of quid each.
If the filters are holding together, you can simply wash in plain water and leave to dry.

Thanks for your reply both! I may end up replacing the filters. The amps in question are vz5000. Very brittle foam and missing in parts. Would the foam that Markie recommended be right for replacing vz foam? I'd cut it to size with scissors Thanks

yes, you can use that
It's a common problem with old VZ amps |
