Step 2: Do consider investing in a special cleaning putty.

While Blu-Tack can be used at a pinch, you want the putty to be as sticky as possible so you don't push the dirt further in but remove it as you pull the putty away. AirSquares Cleaning Putty is specially designed for getting dirt out of earbuds and iPhone speakers.

Step 3: Do use an air blower.

These useful devices do not offer as much pressure as canned, compressed air and are safe to use on iPhones. Consider using an air blower after you've used the soft bristled brush; it will help remove any debris the brush has dislodged. The Pixel RB-20 is made of strong rubber for a robust blast of air and offers a comfortable, ergonomic grip.
