Not really sure how else to describe this. I've got some kind of debris and/or stains on the covering of my ear phone hole on the phone. I'm wondering if there is a safe way to clean this. Compressed air isn't doing the trick and I'm reluctant to use any kind of liquid for obvious reasons.

Anyone else have this issue and/or a potential solution?

I get fuzz/lint in the ear speaker hole thing. I remove it with a little compressed air.

I can has.

Do you guys in USA/UK really use the word "Schmutz" to describe dirt? How funny is that? Or is that an internet thing?

I don't use the word......

First I've seen of the word. Best I can imagine, OP has ear wax in the speaker grill. Not sure how to get that out, but I know there are some liquid cleaners meant to be used with (powered off) electronics. I can't think of too many off the top of my head, just know I've seen them. Have you tried turning off the phone and cleaning with a wet q-tip and letting it dry before turning it back on? The water won't hurt the phone, especially powered off.

Cotton swab?

Eww!! Ear wax!!

In my case its mostly pocket lint. A gentle brushing with a tooth brush gets it right out... The Schmutz that is...
