If you accidentally wash your AirPods Pro, act quickly to minimize damage. Remove them from water immediately, dry them thoroughly with a lint-free cloth, and leave them in a well-ventilated area to air dry. Avoid using heat or compressed air, and do not attempt to charge them until they are completely dry.
When AirPods Pro are exposed to water, the internal components are at risk of damage. Begin by patting them dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Make sure to remove any excess moisture from the exterior. Next, leave the AirPods Pro and their case in a dry, well-ventilated area for at least 24-48 hours. Do not use rice or any drying agents, as small particles can damage the internal components.
To increase the chances of successful drying, place your AirPods Pro near a fan or in a room with good air circulation. It’s important to resist the urge to test or charge them during this period, as electricity and water can cause a short circuit. After waiting, check for any signs of moisture before attempting to use or charge them. If they still don’t function properly, consider contacting Apple Support for further assistance or exploring repair and replacement options. Following these steps can help minimize the damage and potentially save your AirPods Pro.
