what can I use To clean iPhone XR ear speaker grill ?

I was using a clean microfiber cloth But things still get in there.

Do not use compressed air, however, I would use a piece of scotch tape and wedge it in the crevice, and that should pull away any debris without leaving any residue behind.

Don’t ever ever ever use compressed air cleaner. You Will do more damage than good. That’s a known fact. The compressed air actually produces a liquid hydrogen residue which can actually penetrate past the speaker grill and cause damage, not to mention, those components are rather sensitive, and the force from can causing damage.

Use a soft bristle brush or even use blue sticky tack’, which remove debris and it won’t leave any remnants behind.

Your welcome.

I don’t know. Test it and find out.

In terms of cleaning A smart phone, do not use compressed air near the lightning port, speaker grill or even around the edges of the casing that meets the display, simply because of what I mentioned above. And when using compressed air, you should be doing it from a distance where if it’s too not to close the product, as it can cause damage.

It’s a tech no-no. The only thing compressed air should be used for, is a keyboard on a laptop, but again from a distance that won’t harm the product. I personally never use compressed air, as a ‘soft Bristle-brush’ is just as effective without any of the risks.

That’s exactly what I was talking about, the liquid from the compressed air is a major culprit to destroying speaker grills and things of that nature. Don’t ever use it. Even third-party repair shops won’t use compressed air anymore.
