01
Start with the opening that sounds wet
Bottom speakers, earpieces, and other small openings can hold droplets long after the outside of the phone feels dry. Begin with the opening that sounds quieter, duller, or more distorted.
02
Run one short eject cycle
Keep the phone upright, play a short water-eject cycle, and let the vibration do the work. Short repeats usually work better than one long blast.
03
Listen before you repeat
Test the same song, ringtone, or voice note between passes. Stop once the speaker sounds normal again, then let the phone finish air-drying.
