    Just get a bit of plastic packaging or something similar. Cut thin long rectangle. Then cut a small chunk out near the tip to form a small hook. Scrape along the bottom of the port in all directions. Pull out fluff, then repeat until no more fluff comes out. Then go again as you won’t have got it all out even if it looks like it

      So the amazon purchase was for the silicon plugs on a flap that adheres to your phone so it’s always plugged. As preparation to buy a new phone. It just happened to come with this lanky little cleaning kit. But the plugs are just as big of a takeaway as the cleaning.

      Dare I say a classic 1-2-punch with corrective maintenence followed by pr3ventative maintenence!
