Use this guide to clean your iPhone's (generation 14 and below) charging port, a.k.a. the "Lightning port."
If your iPhone charges intermittently—or not at all—your charging port may be dirty, which prevents your charger from sitting correctly. Cleaning your charging port may fix this.
This guide uses tools that you might have around the house, but we also sell a Precision Cleaning Kit that includes some small brushes and picks to make your cleaning life easier.
