How to clean iPhone speaker

Clean the speaker grills to improve sound quality if you own an iPhone. Like the charging port, iPhone speakers can become covered with dust and other debris, which could be more conducive to excellent sound quality. When this happens, your iPhone’s speakers will need to be cleaned. 

However, cleaning iPhone speakers is more challenging than you would think. The following guide will walk through other vital points that you must keep in mind. Some iPhone users find cleaning the speakers a messy task; however, if you clean them gently, you should find it easy to achieve the desired results.

But before we get into the primary subject, it is vital to know what you should not do when cleaning your iPhone speakers. You should avoid making such mistakes.

Things not to do when cleaning iPhone speakers.

• Please don’t use any sharp objects that could damage your speaker grilles to try to remove gunk from them.
• Do not use the sharp end of toothpicks, tweezers, or paper clips.
• While rubbing alcohol evaporates much faster than pure water, any liquid must be kept away.
• We suggest you don’t use canned, compressed air. The pressure applied to electronic devices is too intense, and the vital force could cause dirt to enter the machine. While your laptop’s keyboard may be able to soak up the dirt, you may force it further into its innards.

With that said, let’s get through the several ways to clean your iPhone speaker.

Things to follow when cleaning iPhone speakers.

Use compressed air or an air blower.

Many suggest using compressed air to clean your iPhone speakers manually. However, this is somewhat damaging to the device. But rather than using a compressed air machine, try using an air blower and a ruff-down cloth.

• Holding close to the speaker and short bursts of compressed air will aid in removing dust and debris. It is an excellent alternative to a traditional air blower.
• Be sure to bring your excellent mist air blower closer for more effect.

If your iPhone’s sound quality seems to have turned into something beyond its usual distortion, this may mean an issue with the app rather than a blockage. You could try turning it off and on again to live with the problem. Alternatively, you could take it to an Apple store or an authorized Apple service supplier to rectify it. 

Use the Painter’s tape.

You can remove dirt and particles with Painter’s tape from your iPhone speaker. It is an easily accessible tool for de-qualifying dirt that accumulates inside speaker holes on your iPhone. To use Painter’s tape; 

• Tear a piece of the tape about the width of your index finger.
• Roll that piece into a cylindrical shape with the sticky side facing out.
• Using your index finger, apply the tape to the speaker holes. Keep applying new tape until you see the surface become spotless.
• Then remove the used tape and repeat.

Use a soft-bristled brush.

Apple recommends using a soft-bristled brush to clean iPhone speakers and charging ports. To use the meeting, here’s the step-by-step process of it.

• You should first Remove any screen protectors or cases from your iPhone.

• Shine a flashlight into the speaker openings to see what you’re dealing with.

• Ensure your brush is soft-bristled, clean, and dry so that it won’t cause damage.

• Now, gently brush from side to side on the speaker at a certain angle so that the dust is brushed out.

• Repeat the step several times, tapping any excess dust from the brush between strokes.

• You can do the same with the charging ports. Insert the bristles gently into the holes, rotate softly, and remove them to pull out dust and debris.

Hence, these are the ways to clean your iPhone speaker of unwanted particles.
