You’ve heard it a million times: “Put it in a bag of rice!” Look, rice works okay for absorbing moisture from the whole phone, but for the charging port specifically? It’s messy, and tiny rice dust can get stuck inside your port. That’s like trying to dry your ears with a handful of sand. Not ideal.

Put your phone and a few silica packets in a ziplock bag (leave it open a crack for air). Let them sit for a few hours. It’s like a tiny desert for water molecules.
