Do not blow on it.This could send water into other internal parts of the phone.
2.Remove the protective casing and remove your sim card and micro SD card from your phone slot.

4.Use a cloth or paper towel to dab your phone dry.Avoid spreading the liquid around,because that could push into more of the phone's openings.
5.If the water damage is more extensive,you can use a vacuum to carefully suck out the water from the cracks that are harder to get at.
    NOTE: Make sure any small parts,such as the micro SD card,sim card or battery are out of the way before attempting this.

6.Keep the phone in a ziplock bag full of uncooked rice.Rice is great for absorbing liquid and this is actually a common method for drying smart phones and tablets.
