97% iso is probably the best thing to use just don’t soak your phone use qtips and microfiber cloth. Hot glue is a semi risky way to clean ports of residual lint and dirt but rinse with iso first then fully dry

Actually lower percentages work better, if we’re talking about disinfecting

You might be, OP is not. Neither am I. We’re talking about cleaning a phone, the outside of the phone, not a bare circuit board. Phones are almost universally water resistant, so being worried about shorting electronics is silly.

No it’s not, those ports are not all sealed. Most are water resistant not water proof.
