Easy Way to Clean Speaker Grille

[rs98]

Today I decided to thoroughly clean my phone. I took off the screen protector and case, cleaned the screen and the back cover, and used a Sharpie to cover some chips the paint had. However, I have a small white speck stuck in one of the holes in the front speaker! I tried to blow it out, though I would rather it come out than go deeper into the speaker where it cannot be seen. I tried using a straw, but this didn't help. Any suggestions?

have you tried gently scrubbing the grille with a dry, soft bristle toothbrush?

How about making a small loop around your finger with a piece of Scotch tape, to see if it can lift the speck out?

I would prefer to have the speck come out, though I will try that if all else fails.

The speck seems deep, but let me try that right now.

That's how I get things out of my speaker grille...

Do you think those little tooth cleaner brushes will work? That's what I plan on using

Mayeswell try, and find out! ^^

But yes, I think it will work. Just be softer with it because they tend to be a little rougher than your average soft toothbrush, and work like you are normally brushing your teeth (run it across the grille surface, not into the holes)

Yes it worked!

Sometimes a bunch of dust accumulates between the edges of the screen protector and the phone / case, and one of those little bottles of canned air work well to clean things up. It might work for something like your issue too.

Worked like a charm. Thanks.
