Description from the creator

As the plug from my headphones moved in the jack, I would get a scratchy, static noise. Or one or both of the channels would cut out. This is usually caused by dirty or oxidized contacts. I show you how to clean the headphone jack and fix the problem. Fast and easy.

I recommend using control cleaner. I used Radio Shack Control Cleaner, bu unfortunately most Radio Shacks have closed. I think you can still order it online. Another option is DeoxIT D5 or F5.

I get people asking if other stuff will work. I use control cleaner because it is made for the application. If you want to know if alcohol, water, WD-40, or any liquid, you go ahead an try it. It's your device, so feel free to damage it.
