I see a lots of posts from people complaining about phones ruined after being wet. I have saved many pieces of electronic equipment this way (including a turntable that was underwater for a week and an R/C car when the batteries leaked on the board).
The electronics will not be harmed by the water. What WILL harm them is trying to turn them on while circuits are shorted by the water. So DON’T try to turn the phone on until you have done this.
Scientific fact: Pure water does not conduct electricity. It’s the impurities in it that conduct. Salt is an excellent conductor, and so is saltwater.
