No matter how fastidious you think you are with your smartphone cleanliness routine, over time your iPhone's speakers will slowly get filled up with dust, dirt, and other disgusting debris. This can result in your iPhone's speakers sounding distorted and muffled, whether for media playback or during phone calls.
We're taking a look at the "do's" and "don'ts" of how to get your iPhone speakers factory fresh again.
If you're not sure your iPhone speakers are working correctly, there is a super-quick way to check.
Total TimeStep 1:Go to your iPhone's Settings app and, depending on what iOS you're running, click on "Sounds" or "Sounds & Haptics."
Step 2:Look for the "Ringer and Alerts" slider and drag it back and forth a few times. This should produce a ringtone sound at varying volume levels.

Before you even start to think about what equipment you might need or reach for anything that could damage your expensive smartphone, here are the things you absolutely should not do.
Don'tuse any sharp objects to try to gouge out any gunk. We've seen advice suggesting that you should use the sharp end of toothpicks, tweezers, and even paperclips to scrape your speaker grilles. Don't.
Don't use rubbing alcohol or any kind of liquid. While rubbing alcohol does evaporate more quickly than water, any kind of liquid and the innards of iPhones are not a good mix.
Don'tuse canned, compressed air. While these products are useful for cleaning robust electronics, such as laptop keyboards, the force produced is too strong to be used on more delicate electronics. You could end up forcing the dirt further into the device.

Apple states, "If necessary, clean the speaker or receiver opening with a small, soft-bristled brush. Make sure that the brush is clean and dry."
We're taking that advice a step further with our "do's" of cleaning your iPhone's speakers.
Step 1:Do use a soft bristled brush to gently brush your iPhone's speaker grilles.
Try to use the brush at an angle so you're not forcing the dirt up into the grille, but gently brushing it out. DI QIU REN offers an affordable twin-pack of extra-soft bristled toothbrushes that is ideal for the job.
Step 2:Do consider investing in a special cleaning putty.
While Blu-Tack can be used at a pinch, you want the putty to be as sticky as possible so you don't push the dirt further in but remove it as you pull the putty away. AirSquares Cleaning Putty is specially designed for getting dirt out of earbuds and iPhone speakers.

These useful devices do not offer as much pressure as canned, compressed air and are safe to use on iPhones. Consider using an air blower after you've used the soft bristled brush; it will help remove any debris the brush has dislodged. The Pixel RB-20 is made of strong rubber for a robust blast of air and offers a comfortable, ergonomic grip.
