MODERATORS
I prefer a toothpick. Wood won’t scratch the metal or cause a short, but it’s still stiff enough to scrape any lint that’s stuck. And lint sticks a bit to the toothpick, so that helps get it out.
Neither will the plastic of a floss pick. And the floss pick is narrower so there is much less risk of deforming the interior parts of the plug. Also, less risk of splinters.
another good choice
Toothpick is absolutely the best solution for this. 3d printed cleaning picks are also usable but aren't as strong in my experience
Sometimes the toothpick tapers too quickly though and I have break it or shave a bit off to make it fit all the way into the port
I just shave the end of a match down. It's flat and you can make it pretty thin easily.
