The lightning ports were so bad for this, but they were so easy to clean. Not sure how easy USB C will be to clean

In my experience they aren't too bad. I typically use an exacto knife and just scrape around the bottom of the port for a while until I stop pulling lint out.

I use a sewing needle to pull out lint. Using an exacto knife would scare me, but I'm glad to hear that it works - the ports are more durable than I assumed.

Isopropyl alcohol and an old toothbrush.
