I have been the guilty-get-it-all-done mother that ran the son’s ipod through the wash.
It still doesn’t work.

I just read somewhere that you should leave the phone in a big bowl of dry rice for a few days - the rice absorbs all the moisture and everything goes back to normal. Here it is. Can't hurt to try, right?

I’ve actually done this before. Take the battery out of the phone and let the pieces dry out for a day or so. You can gently dry the battery compartment out. Then charge the phone, and hopefully it works again! Did for me.

Aw crap. I’ve done that…Sucks doesn’t it?
I know.
I’m sorry…Is it under warantee…Blame him. Tell the store he lost it or it got stolen…They should replace it, no?

I have a long standing rule (learned from my former mil when she pulled a frog from one of her son’s pockets). I don’t check pockets although I do feel through the material for anything large (usually).
The girls have learned the hard way to empty them. So did my boys.
I have turned an entire load of white clothes pink when a lipstick got in there somehow.
I have washed my atm card and driver’s license more than once when I’d just shoved them in a jeans pocket to run to the store. Did you know paper money will make it through a washer-dryer cycle intact?
Hope you had insurance on the cells although it’s gone up to a $45 deductible here.
