How To Clean The Headphone Jack?

How to clean the headphone jack?

Method 1: Use compressed air 1. Buy a can of compressed air. Canned compressed air can be bought at home appliance stores, such as Suning Tesco and Gome, and can also be found online. Compressed air can also be used to remove small garbage hidden in computer components, so compressed air may also be sold in the computer city. Because there is no need to insert objects into the headphone jack, the high-pressure air cleaning method is the least likely to damage the jack.

2. Aim the nozzle of the gas tank at the headphone jack. Keep the nozzle on the compressed air tank close to the socket. The nozzle of some gas tanks is a thin, stretchable tube. This design may be more convenient to use, because the thin tube can be aligned with the hole, so that the air is concentrated in the small hole.

3. Release the air. Press the button on the top of the jar to release the air. You can wash away most of the lint and dust in the jack with just one or two clicks. Remember, try to clean the jack as much as possible.

Method 2: Use a cotton swab to clean the jack 1. Buy a cotton swab. Cotton swabs, also called cotton swabs, are available in most supermarkets and beauty salons. Choose a cotton swab that doesn't look so fluffy so that the cotton wool does not stay in the socket. To make it easier to reach into the socket, the tip of the cotton swab is better.

2. "Thin" the cotton on one end of the cotton swab. Tear off or cut off a part of the cotton at one end of the cotton swab so that the thickness of the end of the cotton swab is as close as possible to the width of the center of the cotton swab. When the "thinning" is almost the same, the cotton swab can just stick into the socket.

3. Rub the jack gently. Don't push the cotton swab into the hole forcibly, but slowly push it in until the cotton swab is stuck in the hole. Rotate the cotton swab to ensure that all sides in the socket are rubbed. When you pull out the cotton swab, most of the lint and dust will fall out.

4. Rub the jack with rubbing alcohol. If you encounter stubborn dirt, use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. The cotton swab only needs to be slightly moistened, and it should not be soaked or dripped with alcohol. Before use, squeeze out excess alcohol. Next, put the cotton swab into the headphone jack and turn it back and forth. Rubbing alcohol will corrode metal, so just soak the cotton swab slightly..

5. Dry the jack with a clean cotton swab. The alcohol should dry out quickly. However, you can still remove the remaining liquid to prevent the jack from being corroded. Put a clean cotton swab into the socket, wait a while, and then turn the swab to absorb the remaining alcohol.

Method 3: Use a paper clip wrapped with tape 1. Straighten the paper clip. Pull the paperclip away so that one end is straight. Now you can use a paperclip to glue out the tiny rubbish in the headphone jack. However, metal will still scratch the inside of the jack. You can also use a toothpick, but the tip of the toothpick will also scratch the inside of the socket. You can use a needle to take out the fluff and larger garbage, but it is also easy to scratch the inside of the socket, so don't use the needle to take it out as a last resort.

2. Wrap the tape around one end of the paper clip. General office tape will do. The tape should be wrapped tightly around the straightened end of the paperclip, with the adhesive side facing outward. After wrapping, check whether the tape is stable-the tape must not fall off.

3. Gently stretch the tape-wrapped end into the jack. When inserting the paperclip, move slowly and don't use violent force. Use the end of a paper clip to glue any small garbage you can see. The paper clip wrapped with tape is like a mini roller sticky duster that can stick dust and lint on it.
