How to clean MacBook speaker holes #tech #macbook #apple
A dusty old MacBook is Andrew Bond's demonstration model, and the tool he chooses is about as ordinary as it gets: a soft-bristled toothbrush.
His Short, "How to clean MacBook speaker holes #tech #macbook #apple", reached more than six times his usual first-day Shorts audience. Among uploads about gaming hardware, an AI wristband and a flying car, this small maintenance job has found plenty of interest.
Bond starts with a question posted on X about clearing laptop speaker holes. He then brings up Apple's support guidance, highlighting the instructions to shut down and unplug the computer before cleaning.
For the demonstration itself, he tilts the MacBook and gently sweeps the brush across the grille rather than pushing the bristles straight down into it. A dry microfiber cloth takes care of loose debris afterward. He finishes by putting the cleaned side beside the still-dusty grille on the other side.
The comments turn into a miniature cleaning-tool discussion: several viewers suggest putty, while another describes using a paintbrush. One viewer supplies the more entertaining admission, saying they watched the whole thing despite not owning a MacBook. Bond's practical-tech catalog already includes help with overheating Nintendo Switch consoles and setting up Discord on PS5; this time, the problem is dust in tiny holes.
