Welp, this is a little frustrating for me...
 
Earlier, I had a chat with a Samsung rep asking how I could clean the tricky-to-reach crevices for the back cameras on my Galaxy A53 when it comes to cleaning. I was told to use either a microfiber cloth OR a camera lens cleaning cloth. Now, I happened to already have a random microfiber cloth handy & I tried using that, but it didn't really help. [My phone is pretty much brand new & I haven't been able to get a case for it just yet. And The problem that I've had ever since I've bought it is DESPITE my best cleaning efforts & keeping it in a zip lock bag when I'm not using it, there STILL manages to be these little dust/dirt particles & **bleep** that like to get into those crevices from time to time making it VERY tricky to get them out which I HATE! Because I'm trying to keep my phone as clean as possible & I'm just a bit picky as a whole.] And for anyone wondering, the particles that I do manage to see with my naked eye are mainly between the actual camera lens & the black frame or border before you get to the phone's actual body.
 
With that being said, I'm curious to know if anyone has any other useful tips/helpful suggestions/advice on what I can do about this. I was also told not to use an air-duster or compressed air as that might cause something to rattle loose so that's out. πŸ€·β€:male_sign: But yeah, if any of you happen to know of anything, PLEASE do let me know, alright? πŸ‘
 
Anyway, I guess I'll just leave it at that & hope that someone will answer back trying to be of help. πŸ€žπŸ™ If you happen to have any other questions for me or need additional details, feel free to ask away & I shall answer back! So, thanks in advance, guys! πŸ™‚

Air duster, or keyboard duster, I'm not sure what they're called anymore. But blasting some air usually gets rid of the pesky dust that dosnt want to leave. Walmart, target, any computer store really should have them

But also you're never going to fully get rid of dust, those little spaces just attract it so do you best but know you're already doing enough and not all of it can be stopped

You might be right, but I'm still going to obey what they told me even though I'm erring on the side of caution. But try to understand from MY point of view- I can't help the fact that I'm a clean freak! It's just how I am! 🀷:male_sign:

I use Zeiss premoistened lens wipes or their spray lens cleaner with a microfiber cloth or the soft brown paper napkins that some restaurants use which give a nice streak-free cleaning.

Interesting. Well, how well has that worked out for you? Cause with me, there's like a piece of dirt that's like lodged in there which won't come out. I can try taking a picture of it, but I'm not sure if my old phone can capture the detail good enough...

Does a good job to me. I don't use screen protectors but my displays and camera lens remain scratch free.

I was going to say the same solution as Idk_a_clever_name. It is called compressed air. You can buy a small can @ the dollar store; otherwise the full size cans run $6-$8. Also, I like to use Swiffer dry cloths, around (not on lens).Thier antistatic coating helps to repel dust.
