For maintenance, roughly once a month is plenty. More often if you exercise heavily, work outdoors, or live somewhere humid or dusty. There is no benefit to daily use on a speaker that sounds fine.
Tap the button below. It plays a low‑frequency sound that vibrates the speaker and pushes trapped water and dust out of the grille. Turn your volume up to about 80%.
💡 Point the speaker downward so gravity helps the water escape. Repeat 2–3 times if needed.
Select how wet your device got, then tap Eject Water to run a customized cleaning cycle.
Dry the outside of your phone first.
Let gravity help pull the water out.
Ensure audio plays through the phone's internal speakers.
Never use earbuds. Turn volume up, but 100% isn't required.
Our tool is designed to target the three most common speaker issues using precise acoustic frequencies. Whether your phone took a dive or just sounds muffled from pocket lint, here is how we fix it.
Clear trapped water from your phone in about 60 seconds. The steady 165 Hz vibration physically pushes trapped liquid out of the speaker mesh.
A steady 165 Hz tone — the sweet spot for maximum diaphragm travel — physically pushes trapped water out.
Use our deep clean mode to act as a dust remover. Sweeping low frequencies shake loose stubborn dirt, sand, and lint.
Sweeps across low frequencies (120–400 Hz) to shake loose lint, dust and stubborn droplets the single tone misses.
Act as a volume booster for muffled speakers. Clear out blockages to restore heavy sound, loud bass, and crisp audio.
A clean 440 Hz reference tone so you can hear whether your speaker sounds clear again after cleaning.
Perfectly safe. These are ordinary frequencies your speaker already plays during music. The tool never exceeds normal listening levels — it just concentrates the energy at the frequency range where diaphragm travel is greatest.
This is the most common real-world case and the one most guides handle badly, because the two problems interact. Wet lint behaves nothing like dry lint.
For a complete overview, see our guide to mixed blockages.
Damp fibre compacts. Once moisture soaks into lint packed in the mesh, the mat becomes dense and effectively solid — vibration cannot shift it, and attempting to usually presses it deeper. Clearing liquid first, allowing the remainder to dry, then working the debris is substantially more effective than tackling both together.
It is tempting to compress this into ten minutes. The wait is the part that does the work, though: dry fibre is loose and mobile, damp fibre is a mat. A few hours of patience converts an intractable problem into an ordinary one.
Sugary liquid — soda, juice, sweetened coffee — changes the situation entirely. It leaves a tacky film that binds dust into a crust and physically restricts the diaphragm. Neither sound nor brushing addresses that, because it is an adhesive bond rather than a mechanical one. Sticky residue is a clear case for professional cleaning with solvent.
A combined case often recovers to perhaps 90 percent of original clarity rather than 100. That is usually the fibre that bonded to the mesh while damp, and it is the practical limit of what home methods reach.

No. The frequencies used sit inside the range your speaker already reproduces whenever you play music, and the tool runs at moderate volume rather than maximum. The one genuine caution is earbuds: never run ejection tones into in-ear devices while you are wearing them.
Stop. If three cycles produce no improvement at all, the cause is not blockage. Check the symptoms on our guide to when a sound tool will not help, and have the device inspected rather than continuing to run cycles.
Yes. Water is held by surface tension and usually clears in one or two cycles. Dust is wedged mechanically and held by static, so it needs a sweeping range of frequencies and several more passes.
Thirty to sixty seconds per cycle, repeated two or three times with short pauses. Running it continuously for many minutes adds nothing once the accessible liquid is out, and only heats the voice coil.
Our tool is great for water and dust, but it cannot fix physically blown speakers or electrical damage.
