Hello MsAlba,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I understand that you're wondering how to clean the front microphone on your iPhone 8. I would be happy to help provide steps to do so.


For general guidance on how to clean your iPhone, check out the following support article:


Cleaning your iPhone - Apple Support


While the following resource is for help with speaker issues on iPhone, it also provides additional tips that would apply to cleaning your microphone:


If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support


"Clean your receivers and speakers

Remove all screen protectors, films, or cases from your device. Check the speaker opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. On iPhone only, make sure that the receiver is not blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the speaker or receiver opening with a small, soft-bristled brush. Make sure that the brush is clean and dry."


Take care.
