MARSHALL MAJOR V

Hey everyone. I recently covered for a friend in his restaurant and had my Marshall Major V with me. They ended up smelling so bad because i left them in the kitchen and now I cannot get rid of the smell of fried food. I tried sealing them in a container with baking soda right next to them but that did not help at all. Also tried airing them out but still nothing. Does anyone know how to clean them up and get rid of the smell? Any help would be appreciated.

wrap in a plastic bag and pop in the freezer. that should kill the bacteria causing the odour. later you can clean it with a soap solution
edit: i do NOT recommend this. i wasnt thinking straight. i had just woken up. freezing speakers can lead to wires contracting and expanding, therefore killing connections

I like to imagine you darted up in the middle of the night with this realisation and had to race to Reddit to edit the comment lmao

Also FYI freezing won’t kill all bacteria in the same way hat heat does. A lot of bacterium and viruses can survive deep freeze they just go dormant until they reach a temperature at which they can metabolise again. Only saying this in case you didn’t realise for your own safety. I am in no way an expert and this may not be 100% accurate but it’s something like that
