If you’re going to cover your phone with a drying agent, you’ll need quite a bit of the substance. So, look in your cabinets and pull out a large empty pitcher, a big mixing bowl, or a large saucepan. Set all of the disassembled components of your phone into the bottom. You can leave out the phone plastic back cover. This isn’t crucial to the phone’s function and will air dry. Don’t be stingy with whatever drying agent you chose. You’ll need a substantial amount of it to pull the last remnants of water out of your phone’s electrical components. Put a lid over the container if you’re using an inedible drying agent like silica gel. It takes time for your phone to dry out to the point that it’s usable again. Let it sit in the drying agent for at least 48 hours. If you pull the phone out prematurely, you’ll end up reassembling it with water still lodged inside. If you need to use your phone during this time, you could ask a friend if you can briefly borrow their phone. Or, communicate through email and social media instead of texts and phone calls. Once 48-72 hours have passed, reach into the drying agent and pull out your phone. Shake off pieces of the drying agent, and put the battery, SIM card, and SD card back into your phone. Then, push the “power” button to turn your phone back on. If the phone won’t turn on after you’ve dried it—or if it turns on but barely works or the screen has been damaged—you’ll need to take it to a professional phone-repair company.
