If a speaker with a shock-absorbing silicone base is placed on some wooden surface, it is normal to leave some traces. The trace may be caused by the oil oozing between the silicone base and the desktop. The trace usually disappears a few days after the speaker is removed from the wooden surface. If it does not disappear, wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp, or dry cloth to wipe off the marks. If the marks are still there, follow the cleaning procedures recommended by the furniture manufacturer to clean the surface. If you have doubts about this, it is recommended that you place the HomePod on a surface of other materials.
