How do I clean the dust on the sides of my home button iPhone 5

[718]

So on my white 4 and 4s it was easy to get the dirt and dust out of the sides of the home button but on my i5 its too tight it seems now. Before i can squeeze a thin receipt type paper and get it out, now my i5 looks dirty and grimey. Was wondering if anyone else is too tight or found a way to clean it, let me know please thanks!

A household vacuum with the proper attachment, but I still say this OCD is gonna do harm eventually.

press the home button down with the q-tip and swirl it around while its still down. how dirty can a home button get???

i clean my magic mouse, keyboard all with a few q-tips dipped in rubbing alcohol. i wouldn't recommend alcohol for the home button though...unless maybe you squeeze off the excess alcohol with your finger tips before cleaning around the button. it's nice cause it dries fast (the alcohol).

Mine hasn't been dusty, but I've when I took a home button sticker off, it left some residue on the edge and I was able to use a toothpick while pressing the home button down (Siri kept being stupid though)

 

[hollowplayer]

brand new tooth brush.
