Over time, any device, especially a mobile phone, tends to get dirty and accumulate dust. Since you tend to carry it with you most of the time, it is inevitable that it comes into contact with various surfaces and environments that make it dirty.
Factors such as oil from your fingers, particles in the air, and even traces of makeup, are some of the reasons why your cell phone cannot remain impeccable on its own.
One of the most vulnerable places is the loading port. If dust accumulates on it, it may make it difficult to connect the cable and affect charging of the battery. In extreme cases, it can even damage the charging port and require an expensive repair.
To avoid these problems and keep your phone impeccable, it is essential to apply the straw trick, which has gone viral on social networks, especially on YouTube, a simple, but effective technique that will allow you to maintain your device 100% dust-free.
