The moment your phone hits the water—whether it’s the sink, the pool, or the toilet—panic sets in. You’ve probably heard the old advice: “Put it in a bag of uncooked rice.”Here is the truth: Rice actually hurts your phone.

1. The Rice Myth Rice absorbs humidity from the air, but it does not pull water out from inside a sealed device. Worse, rice is full of starch and dust. When you put a wet phone in rice, that sticky dust gets into your charging port and speakers, creating a cement-like paste that is hard to clean.

2. Corrosion is the Real Enemy Water isn’t what kills the phone; the minerals in the water do. As soon as the water dries, it leaves behind rust and corrosion on your motherboard. This happens within hours.The Correct Steps to Save Your Phone:Step

3: Dry the outside with a towel.Step 4: Bring it to us ASAP. We open the device and use professional chemicals to remove the moisture before corrosion sets in.💧 Wet phone? Don’t wait. Every hour counts. Bring it in now!
