Comment on How do I properly and safely clean smartphone?

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

Yes it is. I have literally never heard of anyone ever breaking their phone by cleaning it 70% alcohol. And I said water resistant already, so I’m not sure why you’re implying I said water proof

Because based on the description, the original poster is asking how to clean out the ports. Not wipe them down on a surface level. Clean them as in most likely the device is not charging properly. This requires flooding the port.
