iPhone X How to clean out the tiny speaker holes on an iphone x?

[Ugene425]

Yes my iphone is a few years old now and despite the battery struggling to last a day, how can I clear out the dirt from the tiny speak holes at the bottom of the phone?

Any useful tips/methods please?

Thank you.

i do it with compressed air, but do it very careful so you dont destroy anything.

I used one of these ”type cleaners“:

Läufer 80100 Type Cleaner, Box 93 x 57 x 20 mm

Type cleaner typutz putty for runners and particularly high dirt absorption and made of natural rubber.

Use an old toothbrush and/or a bulb air blower.

I also use an old toothbrush. I try to avoid blowing air into the speaker and microphone though.

I use blue museum tack putty. It gets it looking brand new again. It is also great at cleaning out the lightning port.

BluTack is probably a bad idea... easily forced into the grille itself.

My experience has been the opposite. The putty is sticky and pulls the dirt and debris out. The grills look brand new after this treatment.

I agree, also it is good for cleaning airpods and getting the wax/dirt out
