Leaving it in the airing cupboard overight should do the trick.

Flush it with de-ionised water first, otherwise there is a risk of water-bourne minerals eating the internals. It won't happen overnight, but it will reduce the lifespan of the phone.

my LCD screen 'dissolved' - lots of clear lines - after months of drying out


it was in my backpack with a bottle of water....................that leaked a bit

Phones and wallets go UNDER the Gore-Tex lining !

Having wshed my phone throiugh a 50 degree wash lat month, I followed the instructions you were given above.

24 hrs and a replacement battery later and my phone works fine.

It did make me move all my numbers to ther SIM card and away from the phone memory in case I shoudl do it again.

No more dirty phone calls.
