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.
Clearing the speaker is the most audible fix, but water rarely limits itself to one opening. These are the other places it collects and what each one needs.

The most consequential and the one people most often get wrong. Never charge a wet port — voltage across damp pins corrodes them within minutes. Hold the device port-down and let it drain, then leave it in moving air for 24 to 48 hours. Do not insert anything absorbent into the port; paper and cotton shed fibres that stay behind. If your phone shows a moisture-detected warning, let it clear on its own.
Eject it early. It gives trapped moisture an escape route, and the slot houses the liquid contact indicator — a small white strip that turns pink or red once liquid has reached the internals. Leave the tray out while drying.
Power and volume buttons sit in wells that trap water and route it inward. Do not press them repeatedly to "work it out" — that pumps liquid further in. Hold the device with buttons facing down and let gravity do it.
Water behind a lens shows as haze or spots in photos. It usually clears on its own as the device dries, over a day or two. Do not attempt to open it, and do not apply heat, which frequently causes permanent internal fogging.
Phones have two or three, in different locations. Symptoms are confusing: callers cannot hear you but voice memos are fine, or the reverse, depending on which mic each app uses. Test by recording a voice memo, then a video, then making a call. Mic openings are pinholes behind extremely fine mesh — far more fragile than a speaker grille, with no acoustic method available. Dry air and time only.
Discolouration, dead touch zones or lines usually mean water has reached beneath the display. That is not a home fix and it does not improve with drying. Back up your data immediately and have it inspected.
Power off, dry the exterior, clear the speaker, then wait. The waiting is the part that does most of the work, and charging too early is what undoes it.
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.
