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

    Do NOT use soap and water on ports. Isopropyl alcohol is probably the only safe option

      The majority of phones are waterproof now and will disable the port if it detects water. Soap and water has been safe for a hot minute.

        Soap changes the surface tension of water and will be able to penetrate the phone when otherwise it wouldn’t be able to.
