Use alcohol (preferably to kill germs) or water on a cotton swab to clean. It should only be slightly damp. Wipe the phone parts, or go over the phone keyboard and parts gently and without allowing excess alcohol or water to drip into the phone or between keys or parts. An alternative to using liquid for cleaning areas such as the camera lens or other sensitive areas of the smart phone is to use canned air. A gentle spray will help clear dust and dirt that is hard to remove. - 4). Clean connectors and speakers or areas difficult to reach with the cotton swab by gently rubbing with a soft toothbrush or getting dust out carefully with a toothpick. Canned air is probably the safest option to use in these areas as well.
