Another way is to dry the money on a rope. If there are few bills, hang them on a rope, attaching clothespins to dry completely.
A hairdryer method is also common when the money is dried with a stream of hot air. But the most effective and proven way is drying with an iron. How to do it:
- Use a white sheet of paper or a layer of fabric.
- Lay out the bill on the ironing board, cover with a sheet on top.
- Iron with iron until fully restored.
After the procedure, the money will be like new. You can easily pay with them in the store.
If you forgot a trifle
If you forgot coins in your pockets and did not find them after the end of the washing cycle, they remained in the washing machine. This can cause serious damage and damage to the drum.

If you washed the phone
Washing the phone or player leads to disastrous results. The chances that the technique will survive are few. Much depends on:
- Was the iPhone turned on before washing? If not, there are more chances to recover.
- How long the equipment spent in water.
- At what temperature did the wash take place. If the water was hot, over 60 degrees, then the damage is too great. The equipment cannot be restored.
What to do with the washed phone:
- If the device was turned on, turn off the phone.
- Disassemble. Remove the back cover, remove the battery and parts that you can remove yourself.
- Lay out the parts to dry on paper towels that absorb moisture well.
- To evaporate moisture faster, wipe the elements with alcohol. The main thing is that you do not need to take cotton wool, a tampon, they leave a pile.
- The board needs to be treated with a special spray - “Contact 60”. He cleans the contacts from rust and plaque, restores them.
- Give the parts time to dry. Dry the elements with a hairdryer. This must be done carefully: with cold air in the distance.
Collect and check the phone for functionality. Failed to restore the work yourself? Contact the service center. Perhaps the device can still be saved.
Be careful when washing things. It’s better to play it safe several times and check everything than to deal with the consequences of negligence later.
