Tetrachloroethylene
Also called perchloroethylene

I found a chart of plastic interactions with chemicals. Odd that this chemical does not mess with plastic too much. Most of them have limited resistance or total resistance to it. It dissolves grease and oil so that is why it worked.

Odd though, it will mess with polyethylene and polypropylene. Those two plastics are impervious to almost everything. You can't glue them etc. Now I have to go see what it will do to them.

First time I did it I fully expected the brake cleaner to melt plastic and
ruin the phone.  Whatever solvent it is made from seems to not harm the
speaker diaphragm at least.

Would think that compressed air would pack whatever was
in there even worse.

Did you try air?  Wondering if that would have forced the grease/dirt out
of the speaker hole.

Once again I got my iPhone speaker full of grease and dirt while pressure
washing.  Almost lost all audio.  Once again I hosed it out with liberal
quantities of brake cleaner.  Works like new.
