How do the experts at Apple Store clean a Charger Port?

A toothpick cleaning does not work very well, and the best Apple gives on their FAQs is


'Remove any debris from the charging port on the bottom of your device'


which is useless.


Is it possible to charge an original iPhone SE using a wireless charger port?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

Since you know it lasts way longer that would mean you have had it done so how did they do it when you were there.

Last time I saw them do one was with a plastic toothpick. What are you getting in the port? Perhaps you should invest in a plug to cover it.

If they cleaned it during the battery replacement they had it fully exposed and probably used a pick and compressed air blowing from the inside out. To do the same you would have to open your iPhone. Use a plastic toothpick and hard bristled small brush. Then buy a cap to seal it.
