Are there chemicals that could damage the camera/screen/USB port, what are the things one should I avoid when cleaning?

    I clean my phone using window cleaner and a paper towel. Modern phones aren’t that sensitive so I really don’t think you need to worry much about what you use. Just maybe don’t spray liquids directly into speakers/mic or USB ports.

      Yeah, window cleaner or alcohol in general has the advantage that it dissipates, making it much less likely for it to get into the electronics and shortcircuit something.

        Isopropyl alcohol is nearly nonconductive, I’ve used it and a detail brush to clean motherboards with zero issue. Its not going to do anything to your phone.
