We always carry our cell phone with us, which means touching it with less clean hands than we would like, but also keeping it in our pocket, our backpack, our purse or in my case, in the bag of racket. Result: The phone eventually gets dirty with daily use.
I have already explained to you how I clean the screen of my smartphone, but there is an enemy that must be eliminated with great care: the dust seeping into every nook and cranny of my Android phone. And you have the choice between locations: the line which separates the screen from the device, the charging port, the microphones and headphones, the outline of the camera module…
The problem is that if we proceed with cleaning without much precaution, for example with a cotton swab or a sharp object to extract the dirt embedded in a cell phone that does not charge, the cure for the disease can be worse. Come on, some elements of the phone can break or deteriorate. But there is a tip with the things we have at home and the most effective to eliminate accumulated dust.
How to clean dust accumulated on your mobile with a straw
We discovered this trick thanks to the YouTuber Smart Fox, who proves that in a few minutes and with four everyday elements we can create a tool to clean cell phone slots, including a sort of head for very small spaces. To do this, you need a straw, a plastic bottle and your trusty vacuum cleaner, a sled or cordless model.
All you have to do is cut the bottle into a sort of funnel (it’s best if the bottle is a small water bottle, like the one you see in the photo) and make a hole in the lid where the straw can fit. The easiest way to do this, as the YouTuber shows, is to heat a sharp metal object and then insert it. Then we insert the straw and glue it with glue.
Finally We place the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner and on it, this homemade head. Since the straw is made of a moderately soft material and its diameter is so small, it is comfortable and efficient to move through these cracks to vacuum up accumulated dirt.
