How to clean speaker grills?

[Populus]

Over the course of one year, my iPhone SE, just like my previous iPhone 8, has gathered a lot of dust from my pocket. Even tho I have no problems with the mic or speaker, at least apparently, I’d like to clean it.

Right now I have two methods in mind:

1) A little suction device originally made to suck babies mucus from their nose, it’s made of rubber and quite safe.

2) Some kind of… I don’t know how to describe it… sticky material used to clean the AirPods by Geniuses on the Apple Store.

I’m open to any other ideas, thank you!

A toothbrush works well.

Blu Tack is the way to go. It’s a putty type substance that sticks to everything and leaves zero residue behind. All my phones have no debris in any of the speakers because I clean them once every 1-2 months.

I use a very soft toothbrush.

Thank you all! I hadn’t thought about using an old toothbrush! Actually they use a similar brush on the Apple Stores.

If brushing and blowing don’t work, I’ll get that Blu Tack thing.

Also, thanks to the anonymous mod for moving the thread to the suitable sub-forum.
