Immediately, for the speaker itself — liquid that leaves early cannot sit and corrode. Dry the exterior first so you are not pulling surface water inward. The waiting rule applies to charging, not to ejection: never plug in a wet device.
Tap the button below. It plays a low‑frequency sound that vibrates the speaker and pushes trapped water and dust out of the grille. Turn your volume up to about 80%.
💡 Point the speaker downward so gravity helps the water escape. Repeat 2–3 times if needed.
Select how wet your device got, then tap Eject Water to run a customized cleaning cycle.
Dry the outside of your phone first.
Let gravity help pull the water out.
Ensure audio plays through the phone's internal speakers.
Never use earbuds. Turn volume up, but 100% isn't required.
Our tool is designed to target the three most common speaker issues using precise acoustic frequencies. Whether your phone took a dive or just sounds muffled from pocket lint, here is how we fix it.
Clear trapped water from your phone in about 60 seconds. The steady 165 Hz vibration physically pushes trapped liquid out of the speaker mesh.
A steady 165 Hz tone — the sweet spot for maximum diaphragm travel — physically pushes trapped water out.
Use our deep clean mode to act as a dust remover. Sweeping low frequencies shake loose stubborn dirt, sand, and lint.
Sweeps across low frequencies (120–400 Hz) to shake loose lint, dust and stubborn droplets the single tone misses.
Act as a volume booster for muffled speakers. Clear out blockages to restore heavy sound, loud bass, and crisp audio.
A clean 440 Hz reference tone so you can hear whether your speaker sounds clear again after cleaning.
Perfectly safe. These are ordinary frequencies your speaker already plays during music. The tool never exceeds normal listening levels — it just concentrates the energy at the frequency range where diaphragm travel is greatest.
People generally judge recovery by whether the speaker sounds normal. That is the wrong signal, and relying on it is how a recoverable phone becomes a damaged one.
For a complete overview, see what to do when a speaker gets wet.
The speaker cavity is close to the surface and vents to open air, so it clears faster than anywhere else in the chassis. Audio often returns to normal within minutes of ejection while moisture remains around the charging port, the SIM tray and inside the case seams. Clear audio means the cavity is clear. It tells you nothing about the rest of the device.
Do not charge until you are past the 24–48 hour mark, even if everything seems fine. Voltage across damp connector pins corrodes them fast, and it is the single most common way a splash becomes permanent damage. Wireless charging is safe in the meantime on models that support it, because it does not use the port. If your phone shows a moisture-detected warning, let it clear on its own rather than overriding it.
Audio that recovered and then degraded again over following days points to corrosion rather than blockage. Green or white powdery residue near any port is active corrosion. A device that runs warm, will not hold charge, or keeps showing liquid warnings needs inspection regardless of speaker quality.
Eject the SIM tray and look inside the slot for a small white strip. Pink or red means liquid reached the internals. It takes ten seconds and it converts guesswork into a fact.
Immediately, for the speaker itself — liquid that leaves early cannot sit and corrode. Dry the exterior first so you are not pulling surface water inward. The waiting rule applies to charging, not to ejection: never plug in a wet device.
Thirty to sixty seconds per cycle, repeated two or three times with short pauses. Running it continuously for many minutes adds nothing once the accessible liquid is out, and only heats the voice coil.
Eject the liquid the same way, but treat the device as needing professional attention afterwards. Salt and sugar leave conductive, corrosive residue when they dry, and that residue keeps damaging the board long after the speaker sounds normal.
No. Rice is a poor desiccant — open moving air dries a device faster — and its starch dust migrates into the charging port, microphone holes and speaker grille, which can create a second problem on top of the first.
Stop. If three cycles produce no improvement at all, the cause is not blockage. Check the symptoms on our guide to when a sound tool will not help, and have the device inspected rather than continuing to run cycles.
Our tool is great for water and dust, but it cannot fix physically blown speakers or electrical damage.
