Does anybody have any secrets or know of anyway to clean the magnetic charger port on a Macbook? Mine has slowly built up a little dirtiness and sometimes when I plug my charger in, the light will go away like it is losing connection. I think it still charges, but could use cleaning. Just a little paranoid I guess.

Keep in mind that the charger port is also magnetic. As such will attract any kind of metal particles. Cleaning it with an alcohol swab should work.
