    What is the grille made of? Cane, wool, cotton?

    Its literally "string"

    The "string" is woven over basic grill cloth so there are two layres of covering

    Well, if water is a problem, you could try cleaning it with naphtha or acetone. Naphtha would be my first choice.

    John, any chance you could turn them inside out? Also, I recently saw a program where a furniture restoration guy was carefully staining antique furniture caning to hide damaged and repaired areas. I believe he was using oil based stains.
