My iPhone 6 lightning cable doesn't "click" into place when connected and only charges in certain positions. I can see lint and debris in the lightning port. How can I safely remove the debris and clean my lightning port?

So I just tried with a tooth pick. And not much debris has come out. How much force should I be using? It's almost like the lint in the back of my lightning port has hardened over time. Thank you for the swift reply.

yeah, each time you plug in the lightning cable, it compresses the dirt dust lint and debris to the bottom of the connector. Just keep digging away until you manage to dislodge it.
Otherwise, you can take it to an Apple store they cleaned it for me for free and it worked perfect after that.
Since then I use the case above, don't have that issue anymore.

Use something soft like a toothpick and compressed air is ok too.
I had that problem too, so after that, I got a nice case with covers for the lightning and earphone jack:
Comes in a variety of really nice colours.
