Anyone use blue tac to clean out speaker grills? Work good?

If not what are you using?
 
If you start fresh and have a newer device maybe try a soft brush. Blue Tac is also an idea but don’t you end up pushing the dirt inside?

I would think a soft brush would push the dirt instead until it’s brushed out.
 
I have used Blue Tac to clean out my Air Pods. It worked great. I did not realize all the dirt that could get pushed in them but the Blue Tac pulled it all out easily. I read about using it from someone posting that they went into an apple store to have them fix low sound issues their Air Pods. The genius used Blue tac and it fixed the problem by pulling out all kinds of dirt.

I've used Blue Tac to clean Airpods and it worked OK. A soft bristled toothbrush does a good job as well. On phone speakers, have you tried compressed air?
