White dots in the speaker grill of the MacBook

Hi folks ! I've been dealing lately with this issue with the speaker grill getting filled up with some stuff inside those little wholes. From my experience, when I used some tips from other discussions, I've discovered that those things in the speaker grill are not even something closer to dust. I used tape, thinking that It will remove the so called dust, but instead it started pealing off some of the tiny black pieces from the grill. I don't recommend doing this, as it looks terrible.

When I went to the Apple store for another problem they said: "Hey! Do you know you have some dust particles inside the speaker grill?" - However this east in my case, it was the tiny black circles falling out from their spots leaving traces.

Any solutions ?

Will Apple do something about it?

Hi there, Alexutu15.

It appears that you used tape to remove what you thought was dust building up in the speakers of your MacBook Pro. The tape you used started removing some of the screen filtering the air and you're wondering what to do. We're glad to help with this.
