    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 before applying hot glue. Let glue set then peel.

          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.

        We’re usually not. It’s to dissolve gunk. And on the topic of iso, 99% is pretty much not 99% after opening the container
