    Unfortunate that this won’t help Android users, but I had a trove of lint stuffed up my iPhone port, and the Apple Store cleaned it out for free.

        You can do it yourself with a toothpick or compressed air, but it often won’t get everything especially if it’s deeply packed. They apparently have special tools for it.

          Those metal Bobby pins broken in half do wonders. Nice sharp hook for scrapping and unpacking the lint.

          Just don’t scrap it across the connector pins. It would probably be fine but that’s never where the lint ends up.

      Whenever I get some lint in my Android phone I just use my 100,000 PSI water cutter to spray a little water in there and it cleans the lint right out.
