It is not a drama to have a dirty charging port. It doesn’t even make us unhygienic people. After all, it’s natural to get dusty if we take into account that we carry the mobile everywhere, we leave it in pockets where there may be little fluff, tables that may have dust, etc. However, not taking care of this section frequently can be problematic. As far as charging problems Concerned, not only could we find ourselves with the impediment of recharging the battery, but also microcuts could occur that make it intermittent. This is even worse when you consider that it can affect battery health. Another common problem with the same origin is the inability to connect the mobile to other devices. Either to connect the smartphone to a computer or to listen to music with a wired headset with a USB-C connector. After all, the contact with the port is the same as that of the load and the problems due to dust appear in the same way.

It’s almost more important to know what not to do to clean this port, like knowing the right way. And it is that, unlike the speaker cleaning, it is absolutely not recommended to use sharp objects or use lint-free cloths and abrasive liquids for this action. What’s more, you should** avoid any type of liquid** for this cleaning, as this is the door to the inside of the device and we already know that electronics and liquid are not good companions. For this you can use several common objects that you probably already have at home. For example a soft bristle brush, which you can insert through the port and move gently to expel the dust specks. Also a flattened lint-free swab. The method is the same, insert it into the port and move it gently to remove the dirt. Accessories like these, available on Amazon, could do the trick:

17 Pieces Phone Cleaning Kit, USB Charging Port & Headphone Jack Cleaner Set Compatible with iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, iOS & Android, LG, Motorola, Phone Lenses

40 Pcs Foam Cleaning Cotton Swabs Dust Free Cleaning Cotton Swabs for Camera Lens Inkjet Printer 12.8 x 0.14 x 0.075cm

Once you have cleaned the port, you should check if your mobile already charges well and connects to other accessories via cable. Obviously, this is not a universal solution and if the fault has another origin, it will be of little use for the port to be pristine. However, you’d be surprised how many times this “nonsense” ends up being the cause of failure.
