Use soap and water. If that’s not enough, 99% Isopropyl Alcohol does a great job for cleaning and disinfecting without damaging the device.

Avoid using anything that scours or anything that will react chemically with the glass, metal or plastic on your device (no mineral oils, solvents etc.)

    Do NOT use soap and water on ports. Isopropyl alcohol is probably the only safe option

    The majority of phones are waterproof now and will disable the port if it detects water. Soap and water has been safe for a hot minute.
