How to clean crevasses on iPhone?

How do I get stuff out of the crevass that rounds out the iPhone's edge? It's between the black and chrome parts on the touch screen side. I've tried sticking the end of a regular vacuum there but it wouldn't pull out the little specs stuck inside.

I simply use a can of compressed air. You can find it in the computer department at any electronics store or Staples or something like that.

Doesn't that just shove it further down into the crevass?

If you aimed it at an angle shouldn't it just come right out? It'd only go in deeper if you aimed it straight down into the case.

I find the dishwasher set to gentle rinse does the job! 🙂

Joke!

try using the edge of a receipt, i.e from the supermarket, that has worked for me. Just be gentle, as I think there is a rubber seal that goes around the entire phone between the glass and the chrome edge.
