I woke up to find my phone charger cord wet and soon realized my kitten had peed on it. When I plugged it in, my phone started alarming about moisture in the charging port. After cleaning the port with a toothpick, alcohol-soaked cotton swabs, and drying it with a fan, the moisture seems to be gone, but the cat pee odor still lingers, and my phone is hesitant to charge. My charger also smells either like pee or burnt. Any tips on how to properly clean this and get my phone charging again?

Urine is pretty corrosive, so you might be in a tough spot. It's important to carefully clean all components near the charging port with isopropyl alcohol. Just be mindful not to drown it in alcohol; a little goes a long way. If you're unsure, consider getting it looked at by a professional.
Is it okay to spray or pour isopropyl alcohol inside the charging port?
