The USB-C port is one of the main connection ports present in modern smartphones. It allows data transfer, battery charging and connection to other devices. However, it is common for this entrance to accumulate dirt and dust over time, which can impair its functioning.

Therefore, it is important to periodically clean the USB-C port. For this, you will need some materials, such as a toothpick, a cotton swab, isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth.

The first step is to turn off your smartphone and remove the protective cover, if you have one. Then, take the toothpick and carefully remove the dirt that has accumulated in the USB-C port. It is important not to apply too much force so as not to damage the entry.

Then, take the cotton swab and moisten it with some isopropyl alcohol. Pass the cotton swab in the USB-C port, making circular movements to remove the accumulated dirt. It is important to remember that isopropyl alcohol is a flammable product, so care must be taken when handling it.

Finally, take a soft, dry cloth and wipe the USB-C port to remove any remaining residue. Make sure the inlet is completely dry before turning your smartphone back on.
