When our phone accidentally takes a dive, instinct often pushes us to react… wrongly. The first reflex to avoid: the hair dryer. The heat risks propelling water even deeper into the circuits. The same goes for the sun: the internal components are sensitive and can deteriorate under the effect of heat.
Another common but ineffective idea: the freezer. No, the cold won’t “freeze” the moisture; on the contrary, it risks further damaging the appliance.
