Below I've shared some step by step methods that have helped me a few times to save my wet phone from any damage. Every time my phone gets wet, I just start with the step one and keep on moving to the next step one by one until I get my wet phone dry and working.

1. Remove Battery from the Handset

As much as I've known so far, mobile phones manufacturing companies doesn't offer any warranty on wet phones.

If you think, the water had entered into the phone, then simply open back cover of the handset and remove the battery.

After removing the battery, you will find a small sized sticker on the handset which is of white color in most of the phones. If water had entered inside the handset then it will turn into red or pink color and even if there is a little bit moisture inside the handset then sticker will change its color.

This will give you an indication that you need to hurry up for drying up the wet phone.

2. Switch Off the Wet Mobile Phone Immediately!!

Never switch on the mobile phone if its wet. If phone is still on, then switch off immediately. Even if a single drop of water went inside the mobile phone, then it can possibly damage the circuits inside the chip. It may also result as sparking in the mobile phone.

Don't forget to plug out all the peripherals connected to the wet mobile phone such as memory cards, headphone, charger, etc

By doing this, you will ensure that your phone don't get any further damage due to sparking or water.

3. Clean Mobile Phone with a Cotton cloth

After removing battery and all other accessories from your mobile phone, clean all of them nicely with a cotton cloth. This may help in removal of some moisture from the surface.

4. Use Air to make it Dry

Never ever use microwave or hair dresser to dry your phone.

Believe me, its really a silly idea. This may damage your phone even more. The best way you can opt for making your wet phone dry is by keeping it in front of a running fan. This also helps to remove the moisture from the soaked smartphone.

5. Put Wet Phone in Rice

Even after performing all the above things, if still moisture is present inside the mobile phone, there is one more way which will definitely dry up your mobile phone. Since, you're doing it in your home, the best way to remove moisture from wet mobile phone is by using rice.

No, not kidding. I'm serious about using rice to dry your phone. You would have to put your wet phone in rice container and keep the container in sunlight.

I think you're eager to know how this thing works. Actually, the rice with the help of sunlight increases the temperature inside which will completely remove the moisture from the wet mobile phone. You will find a better result in 24-48 hours.
