How to dry Apple AirPods:

Both standard Apple AirPods or water-resistant AirPods Pro need to be carefully dried if they get wet.

Owners should also ensure AirPods are dried before they are returned to the charging case, to prevent damage to the case.

Wet AirPods need to have any excess water immediately wiped off with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Many experts suggest using a microfibre cloth, although a cotton swab can also be used to dry the small ports.

The Apple AirPods should next be left out in the open for a minimum of two hours to let them air dry.

The AirPods should not be used during this period if possible.
