Even worse, Apple Care+ doesn\u2019t cover water damage. Now is the time to take calculated steps and save the life of your beloved AirPods instead of losing your AirPods forever or paying Apple for repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I sorted out and tried free methods on the Internet. Facts have proved that most of the measures taken online lack caution. I set out to fix it. Each method below has some caveats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the 8 first aid steps:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"ub_table-of-contents\" data-showtext=\"show\" data-hidetext=\"hide\" data-scrolltype=\"auto\" id=\"ub_table-of-contents-bfb8b800-43b5-49a0-bf81-26054c60dcb3\" data-initiallyhideonmobile=\"false\"\n                    data-initiallyshow=\"true\"><div class=\"ub_table-of-contents-extra-container\"><div class=\"ub_table-of-contents-container ub_table-of-contents-1-column \"><ul><li><a href=https:\/\/devtest.esrgear.com\/blog\/dropped-airpod-in-water-first-aid-steps\/#1-1-use-a-microfiber-cloth-to-dry-the-exterior->1.&nbsp;Use a Microfiber Cloth to Dry the Exterior<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/devtest.esrgear.com\/blog\/dropped-airpod-in-water-first-aid-steps\/#2-2-use-a-cotton-swab-to-dry-the-inside-of-the-charging-case->2.&nbsp;Use a Cotton Swab to Dry the Inside of the Charging Case<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/devtest.esrgear.com\/blog\/dropped-airpod-in-water-first-aid-steps\/#3-3-turn-them-upside-down->3.&nbsp;Turn Them Upside Down<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/devtest.esrgear.com\/blog\/dropped-airpod-in-water-first-aid-steps\/#4-4-turn-on-the-fan-or-air-conditioner->4.&nbsp;Turn on the Fan or Air Conditioner<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/devtest.esrgear.com\/blog\/dropped-airpod-in-water-first-aid-steps\/#5-5-place-them-in-a-warm-environment->5.&nbsp;Place Them in a Warm Environment<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/devtest.esrgear.com\/blog\/dropped-airpod-in-water-first-aid-steps\/#6-6-use-silica-gel-packets->6.&nbsp;Use Silica Gel Packets<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/devtest.esrgear.com\/blog\/dropped-airpod-in-water-first-aid-steps\/#7-7-use-the-water-eject-shortcut-from-siri->7.&nbsp;Use the Water Eject Shortcut From Siri<\/a><\/li><li><a href=https:\/\/devtest.esrgear.com\/blog\/dropped-airpod-in-water-first-aid-steps\/#8-8-sanitize-them-before-use->8.&nbsp;Sanitize Them Before Use<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"0-8-first-aid-tips-to-save-your-airpods-\"><strong>8 First Aid Tips to Save Your AirPods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you dropped airpods in water, carefully follow these instructions and save them from doom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-1-use-a-microfiber-cloth-to-dry-the-exterior-\"><strong>1.&nbsp;Use a Microfiber Cloth to Dry the Exterior<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gently pat the wet surface of your AirPods with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. This helps to soak up the moisture without applying too much pressure. Avoid using a rough fabric that might scratch the surface. More importantly, resist the urge to place the AirPods into their charging case if they&#8217;re still wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wet electronics and charging ports don&#8217;t mix well and might cause damage or short-circuiting. Therefore, curb your urge to charge the AirPods until the very end. This will keep you and your AirPods safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-2-use-a-cotton-swab-to-dry-the-inside-of-the-charging-case-\"><strong>2.&nbsp;Use a Cotton Swab to Dry the Inside of the Charging Case<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Carefully dab the inside of the charging case with a dry cotton swab to absorb any moisture. Be gentle and avoid using anything sharp that could scratch or damage the delicate components. Be patient and do not rub vigorously as you may cause more harm than good and permanently damage any of the components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s crucial to handle the interior delicately to prevent further harm. Never insert sharp objects inside the case as it might harm the charging contacts or the internal components. Use a blunt cotton swab and make sure it\u2019s padded enough so the stick does not come in contact with the interior of the charging case.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"esr_blog_page_products\">\r\n

shaking the AirPods to get rid of water, a simpler alternative is to turn them upside down. Shaking anything to get rid of the water is like second nature to us but if you want to save your AirPods you need to maintain composure and follow the right protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning the AirPods upside down allows gravity to help the water drain out naturally. Gently tap the AirPods against your hand with the speaker grille facing downward to encourage water droplets to fall out. Avoid aggressive shaking at all costs, as it might damage internal components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-4-turn-on-the-fan-or-air-conditioner-\"><strong>4.&nbsp;Turn on the Fan or Air Conditioner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let the AirPods dry naturally by placing them near a fan or in a room with air conditioning. The circulating air will help speed up the drying process without the risk of heat damage. You need to maintain patience and don\u2019t opt for shortcuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid using direct heat sources like hairdryers as they can damage the delicate electronics within the AirPods. Most DIY videos show the use of hairdryers but a direct source of heat may dry up the water but it will still damage other components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-5-place-them-in-a-warm-environment-\"><strong>5.&nbsp;Place Them in a Warm Environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider placing your AirPods in a controlled, warm environment, like a room with mild warmth. This gentle heat helps in drying out any remaining moisture. However, avoid extreme heat sources like microwaves or direct sunlight, as they can damage the internal components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-6-use-silica-gel-packets-\"><strong>6.&nbsp;Use Silica Gel Packets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An effective method to absorb moisture is using desiccants or silica gel packets. Place your wet AirPods in a sealed container with these packets to help draw out moisture. The gel packets will completely absorb all of the moisture but you have to keep your AirPods in it for a longer time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid using rice as it&#8217;s not as effective and might leave residue inside the AirPods, causing further damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-7-use-the-water-eject-shortcut-from-siri-\"><strong>7.&nbsp;Use the Water Eject Shortcut From Siri<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Activate Siri and ask her to &#8216;Eject Water.&#8217; This initiates a special water expulsion mode that plays a specific sound to remove any water that might be trapped in the speaker or microphone. However, avoid inserting wet AirPods into your ears immediately after this process, as there might still be residual moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-8-sanitize-them-before-use-\"><strong>8.&nbsp;Sanitize Them Before Use<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While we are taking all precautions to keep your AirPods safe, it is important to consider your safety as well. Before using your AirPods again, it&#8217;s crucial to sanitize them to prevent any potential ear infections. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth with mild soap to clean the exteriors gently. Ensure they&#8217;re completely dry before placing them back into your ears to avoid discomfort or infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-are-airpods-waterproof-\"><strong>Are AirPods Waterproof?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>AirPods aren\u2019t entirely waterproof, but they have water-resistant qualities. Knowing the differences between waterproof and water-resistant is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waterproof means that the device completely resists water and stays safe when submerged. On the other hand, water resistance means that the device can tolerate water submersion up to a certain level and will not stay protected beyond those levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different AirPods models vary in their water resistance capabilities. For example, the AirPods Pro, with an IPX4 rating, are designed to resist sweat during workouts and light exposure to moisture. However, despite this resistance, they aren\u2019t invincible against heavy exposure to water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-tips-to-reduce-damage-if-airpods-fell-in-water-\"><strong>Tips to Reduce Damage if AirPods Fell in Water<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people spend a lot of time panicking when their AirPod fell in water&nbsp;but that is the last thing you should do. Here are some tips that will help reduce water damage on your AirPods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Act Quickly: <\/strong>Time is of the essence, and you should take your AirPods out of the water quickly.
