This can cause your iPhone's speakers to sound distorted and muffled, whether you're listening to music or making a phone call.


We're going over the "do's" and "don'ts" of reviving your iPhone's factory-fresh speakers.


Ascertain that your iPhone's speakers are operational.

The "Do Nots" of iPhone Speaker Cleaning


  • Before you consider what tools you might require or grab for anything that could cause damage to your pricey smartphone, here are several things you should absolutely avoid doing.

  • Avoid the use of any sharp items when attempting to gouge out any muck. We've seen tips advising that you scrape your speaker grilles using the sharp end of toothpicks, tweezers, or even paperclips. Don't.

  • Avoid using rubbing alcohol or any other type of liquid. While rubbing alcohol evaporates faster than water, any liquid and the insides of iPhones do not mix well.

  • Avoid canned or pressurized air. While these tools are beneficial for cleaning tough electronics such as laptop keyboards, the force generated is too great for use on more delicate electronics. You risk pushing the dirt deeper inside the gadget.


What is Apple's Official Recommendation?


We figured we'd check out Apple's official instructions for cleaning your iPhone's speakers, as the firm is the one that makes them. According to Apple, "If necessary, use a small, soft-bristled brush to wipe the speaker or receiver opening. Ascertain that the bristles of the brush are clean and dry."


With our "do's" for cleaning your iPhone's speakers, we're taking that advise a step further.


The "Do's" of iPhone Speaker Cleaning

  1. Brush the speaker grilles of your iPhone lightly with a soft bristles brush. Use the brush at an angle to avoid squeezing the dirt into the grille and instead gently sweeping it out.

  2. Consider purchasing a specialized cleaning putty. While Blu-Tack can be used in a pinch, you want the putty to be as sticky as possible to ensure that you do not push the dirt farther in but rather remove it as you remove the putty.

  3. Make certain to utilize an air blower. These convenient devices provide less pressure than canned, compressed air and are safe to use with iPhones. Consider using an air blower after using the soft bristled brush; it will assist in removing any dirt that was released by the brush.
