Smartphones, tablets, and laptops are meant to be portable. As a result, these devices spend a lot of time in our hands, in pockets, in purses, on dirty tables, outside, and other places where they can get dirty. If it's harder to insert your charging cable into the port, the cable pops out, or charging is taking longer than usual, it's likely that dust and/or other debris has made its way inside the port. This wikiHow teaches you how to safely clean debris from your phone, tablet, or laptop's USB-C or Lightning charging port. Steps
