The lightning port is the only port you have on an iPhone 12 Mini. There really isn't much you need to do. Once in a while take a flash light and look inside the charging port. If you see dust, lint or dirt, use a wooden or plastic tooth pick to gently pry the debris out. Never use forced air as that can force and imbed debris into the port. That's pretty much all you need to do.
