I’m aware about Silica Gel, rest are new to me. Thanks for sharing.
Of course! Rice is desiccant. My father put some grauns into a bottle of salt to prevent the humidity.
One from expieriance , I put mine in rice for 24 hrs. Then went to radio shack. They sell a pouch full of silica bags. The cost was 17.99. The waiting was the hardest part but after 3 days my iPhone 4 was back alive and kicking. A bottle of water fell on my iPhone zapping it. And i did try to turn it on , so no harm there. Hope this helps
Here is a common substance in most US groceries. If your device can be saved this stuff will do it. It is not that expensive and you can also use it in damp areas of the house.
