How to clean your mobile speaker?

  • Xiaomi devices with MIUI 12 or newer include a native speaker cleaning feature. No extra apps are required. The option is found in the settings menu under additional settings, labeled Clear speaker. When activated, the phone emits a sound for about 30 seconds to help dislodge dust or moisture from the speaker cavity.
  • For non‑Xiaomi devices, a website like fixmyspeakers.com can guide users through a cleaning process. The page provides a tailored sound sequence designed to drive out moisture and debris from the speaker.
  • If the above options do not suffice, consider apps available on Google Play. These tools use targeted sounds and frequencies to encourage cleaning activity inside the speaker.
  • Speaker Cleaner. An uncomplicated app that performs automated cleaning with a progressively rising tone. During use, keep the phone screen facing down and set the volume high enough to be effective.
  • Drain the water. Similar to Speaker Cleaner but with a different tone. It is best performed with the screen resting on the table.
  • Tester and cleaner. This app not only cleans but also tests speaker performance. A recommended setup is to place the phone with the speaker toward the ground during operation.
  • Repair the speaker. This option offers both manual and automatic cleaning modes and supports both speakers and headphones.

Additional Tips

It is wise to start any cleaning test with a cautious approach. Begin at a low volume and gradually increase to avoid potential damage. Never insert objects into the speaker openings, as this can cause permanent harm. Perform cleaning in a dry, dust‑free environment to maximize effectiveness and reduce the risk of moisture intrusion.

Cleaning the speakers on an Android phone is a straightforward, accessible process. With the right tools and methods, these devices can maintain high‑quality audio for everyday use. Remember that prevention matters: minimize exposure to dusty environments and moisture to protect speaker integrity.
