How can I clean the USB C Thunderbolt port of the studio display? Help me

[Ramoncitos]

How can I clean the USB C Thunderbolt port of the studio display without damaging it since a small piece of trash seems to have gotten into one of the walls (see the white point)? There is no information in the Apple manuals. At the Apple Store they only told me to use a soft bristle brush because it doesn't generate static. I have seen others use a dental pick. Compressed air scares me because liquid can come out. Any concrete and sure idea?

I would just use a pair of tweezers aided by a magnifier. Remove power from the display first, of course.

I'd use compressed air. I think it's less risky than anything "mechanical".

I think Compressed air has the risk that condense the air and finally you introduce liquid in the port. Tweezer are metal material...so you can generate static. Some people recommend me use a toothpick with so much patience.

I’ve used a toothbrush (new and dry obviously) before and it works well to collect the really small particles.
