I wanted to see if someone on here can shed some light on how to "Properly Clean" the tolex on an old Marshall 4x12 cabinet.

Also is there a way to clean the grill cloth without discoloring it?

Hot water and a stiff brush for the tolex. Chemicals can discolour it.

The grill cloth is made from rolled paper yarns. Best not to touch it.

I use hot mild soapy water solution and a cotton rag for the tolex.

BG and stef have given you good advice. I use anti bacterial hand soap (can't be too careful with accumulated schmegma on the tolex!) mixed with water in a pan and a cloth to wipe off the tolex.

Cloth, about all you can do is vacuum it using the soft brush/bristle attachment. It is made of a paper/organic blend, and if you get it wet it can discolor.
