Shampoo in iphone charging hole.

My shampoo leaked while being in the same bag as my phone, and because of that no charger is working and my phone is on headphones mode. I can deal with the headphones mode but does anyone know a good way to get the shampoo out without any machines?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 15

Nothing good really. An iPhone 6s Plus doesn't even have the water resistant seals that later models have, so washing it out with clear water and hoping the seals hold isn't really an option.


I suppose a shop might be able to use an ultrasonic cleaner, but the battery really needs to be disconnected for that. The big problem with liquids is that electricity starts shorting things out when there's power.

Hey there,


Clean your iPhone immediately if it comes into contact with contaminants that might cause stains, such as ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, and lotions. To clean your iPhone, unplug all cables and turn it off. Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, compressed air, aerosol sprays, solvents, ammonia, or abrasives to clean your iPhone. The front glass surfaces have an oleophobic coating. To remove fingerprints, wipe these surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal use, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and might scratch the glass.

To clean the Home button (allowing Touch ID to work optimally), wipe it with a soft lint-free cloth.
