Treatment for rubber speaker surrounds?


Anyone use any type of treatment like silicone for their speaker surrounds to preserve them from getting hard and drying out. Does any company make a product meant for this purpose? I have heard of people using Armor All but IMO that is not the best choice because it also can cause drying and cracking.

I third (is there such a thing) the motion above. Leave the surrounds alone -- or, dust them with a soft cloth or duster fm tie to time.
Some drive units use treated paper, too. Nsgarch, I assume you don't recommend using tap water (or is this immaterial)? Cheers
