To clean iPhone speaker holes effectively and safely, follow these steps:
- Use a soft-bristled brush (like a clean, dry toothbrush or a small paintbrush) to gently brush the speaker holes. Brush at an angle to avoid pushing dirt deeper inside, and tap out excess dust from the brush between strokes. This loosens debris without damaging the delicate speakers.
- After brushing, you can use short bursts of compressed air held upright at a safe distance to blow away loosened debris. Avoid soaking the speakers with moisture from the air can.
- For more dust removal, wrap a small piece of painter’s tape sticky-side down around your finger. Roll your finger gently over the speaker holes to lift out dust without leaving residue.
- Optionally, very carefully use a wooden or plastic toothpick to flick out visible debris from the speaker holes near the charging port, but do this gently to avoid internal damage.
Avoid using any liquids like rubbing alcohol or harsh sharp objects to prevent damage to the speakers. These steps will safely clean the speaker holes and help maintain sound quality.
