I came into the comments to say this. I keep one in my drawer, trimmed down a bit so it can go all the way around inside a usb-c port. They’re perfect since they’re very narrow and since they are soft you won’t damage the port.
I came here to say this. I bought a cleaning kit but all the tools were too thick. The plastic dental pick was perfect. I used a drop of 90% rubbing alcohol to loosen the lint first.
I use the pick side from one of those dental flossers to clean mine. Works great and easy to replace.

I can only get a bent staple into the USB-C port on mine, which makes me nervous but does the job. Will have to see if a pick works.
