Help! Dropped moisturizer lotion in iPhone XR speakers. What best to do?

[humble turnip]

A dollop of moisturizer (hand lotion) fell on my iPhone XR. Although it has a case, some of it got into the speaker holes on the left side.

I turned off the phone the moment this happened.

I also used a lint free cloth to clean the moisturizer out.
But those speaker holes are tiny, so it's hard to get into. I put the lint free cloth over a soft tooth pick to gently get the moisturizer out.

If I hold it under a magnifier glass it looks like the moisturizer is out, although the inside of the holes do look a touch whiter than then other side, so I'm not sure if it's 100% all gone.

I haven't turned my phone back on yet to avoid causing problems with the electricals.

What should I do? Should I leave it off for a while? If so how long? Is there any other way to clean it properly?

Because I haven't turned it back on, I haven't tested the speakers. Because the iPhone XR is water resistant I am hoping it's okay. But is there anything else I should be doing?

Thanks!

Probably done all you can without opening up the phone.

Can also try a used toothbrush in this situation, though I have only tried that to clean dust. It does get into the holes pretty good.

Apple Store has this gummy stuff they can clean speaker grills.

Worked wonders on cleaning up whatever gunk was caked into the speakers of the used phone I bought.
