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.
Full submersion is a different situation from a splash, and some of the standard advice actively works against you here. The first minute matters most.
For a complete overview, see the full water ejection walkthrough.
Case off, SIM tray out, any accessory removed. The open SIM slot gives moisture an escape route and lets you check the liquid contact indicator inside. Blot the exterior with a lint-free cloth — blot rather than rub, since rubbing pushes water into seams.
Run ejection cycles with the grille facing down, 70–80 percent volume, wiping between each. Doing this early matters: liquid that leaves the cavity in the first ten minutes never gets the chance to sit against the diaphragm and evaporate into a mineral deposit.
Depth means pressure, and pressure forces water past seals that would resist a splash. A phone that went to the bottom of a sink is a different case from one that got rained on, even at the same IP rating — those ratings are tested at specified depths for specified times on new devices with intact adhesive. A two-year-old phone that has had a screen replaced has nothing like its original sealing.
No charging. No heat. No rice — open moving air dries faster and rice adds starch dust to your ports. Leave it upright in a dry room, ideally with a fan on low. Back up your data as soon as it powers on reliably, because liquid-damaged boards can fail unpredictably days later.
If it was seawater, rinse briefly with clean fresh water before drying. This sounds wrong but it is correct — diluting and removing salt prevents chloride deposits that would otherwise corrode continuously. Then dry thoroughly and have it inspected.

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.
