How To Clean iPhone Microphone?

Writer Sarah Silva

After months of continuous use, cleaning your phone – particularly your phone’s microphone is necessary to ensure that no nasty dirt is impeding your phone’s recording/call quality. However, if this is your first time, you may be afraid of damaging your phone’s microphone rather than increasing the overall sound quality.

The following are some suggestions for cleaning your iPhone’s microphone.

Place the toothpick’s tip in the microphone hole. Scrape any debris that may have become lodged in the microphone hole by twisting it around. Ensure the toothpick does not go too far into the hole since this could cause more damage than the debris. To avoid puncturing the microphone, use light pressure.

Clean the microphone hole with a brush to erase any dirt that has gone into it. If you don’t even have a toothbrush, utilize a paintbrush.

Cleaning products that employ compressed air are useful for cleaning electronics. Make sure not to blow compressed air straight into the microphone hole since this can result in permanent damage. Blast the air from a distance of roughly 50cm parallel to your phone.

For a few seconds, press the putty into your microphone hole before lifting it. Repeat this method three or four times to guarantee that your microphone speaker is as clean as possible. You should go the DIY approach and produce your cleaning putty. All you’ll need is 340 milliliters of warm water, 142 milliliters of regular glue, and 32 milliliters of borax.
