2. Check the connectors, the speaker, the SIM card slot and remove the battery if possible. Clean the water particles with soft means that absorb moisture well (for example, cotton swabs or paper napkins). Under no circumstances should you use hard objects – they may damage the device. Again, we recommend acting as quickly as possible so that water does not have time to get into the interior of the gadget.

3. After arriving at the room, the smartphone can be additionally wiped with moisture-absorbing means, after which leave it on the table for at least two hours and do not use it actively during the day. There is no need to dry the smartphone with a hair dryer or put it on the battery. In the first case, you will only disperse the water, and in the second case – damage the battery due to sudden overheating. Also, do not charge the gadget until it is completely dry.
