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

      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.

        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.
