Personally I wouldn’t take the chance that it is still waterproof.
It may have been when it left the factory but it has been used since then and you don’t know whether any small imperfections in the seals may have developed due to it being handled in whatever manner.
Perhaps start by getting some Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available from electronics parts stores) and moistening a clean, lint free cloth with it and gently cleaning the case etc.

If any does penetrate the speaker it will evaporate before it can do any harm i.e. no corrosion and also will not leave any conductive residues that may affect the speaker when it is powered on.

Be aware that IPA also conducts electricity so don’t splash it on and don’t have the speaker powered on when cleaning so as to minimize the risk of electrical problems if it gets inside.
