How to clean iPhone earpiece grill?

Thank you so much for this advice. I'll get right onto that.
I'm more about cleaning the actual iPhone earpiece, but a good suggestion.
Believe it or not, most medical professionals advise against using q-tips in ears.
So when the OP asks that question, I'll have to answer differently.
I see this more and more, and it makes me wonder how the hell people are using q-tips. I could not imagine not using them!
To the OP, I regularly just "blow" on the grill and that keeps in clean. If something gets stuck, I just fold a tiny piece of paper and slide it out.
Why not? You can wet it a little too. If you're worried about damaging anything with a qtip it's extremely unlikely.
Some suggestions from another discussion about this: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/earpiece-grill-and-headphone-cleaning.1763586/
Just a little brush would do it. Do not use compressed air as it would drive it past the screen.
To be honest, I have never cleaned this screen as I never saw a reason to do so.
Do you have your new iPhone yet? Hope it is the one that makes you happy!
I just use a piece of tape and gently push it into the earpiece with a toothpick and then lift it off. The dirt and dust sticks to it and then it looks good as new.
