Dropped my phone in tub with Epsom Salt

[DARK Vader777]

The phone should be fine. Just submerge it for a few minutes in a container of clean water. Avoid rinsing it under a faucet, because the pressure of the emerging water could exceed what the phone is rated to withstand.

I think Epson salt has magnesium as a component. So over time this probably with begin to effect the various components in your phone.
Washing it off, I agree, I really don't think this would help.

That can only happen if the corrosives enter the device which would only happen if water got inside. Most likely if water got inside there would generally be issues with it working. I can't guarantee it, but if it's gently rinsed off it should be fine.

It still amazes me every time I see a thread about someone dropping their phone in ________ (fill in the blank, toilet, tub, etc). I never have taken my phone into the bathroom. And that’s from the very beginning of phones, pre-Android,etc.

I got a pretty bad habit of taking my phone to the crapper.

I do this also, in fact as I post this, but don't see how it's a "bad" habit. \_0_/

To my credit I place the phone down and re pick it up after washing.

There's a lot more information than I need to know being shared here.

Yea, I think you'll be alright. The charging port, speaker and mic areas would start to have any issues if at all.

I take my phone in the bathroom ever since I believe I every bought one. I've had my note 9 in the pool for short
periods of times taking pics of Grandkids.
The only thing that usually happens is that the charging port has moisture and it says to (unplug) and then I usually lightly blow dry it for about a minute, stick it on the wireless charger and in a couple hours it's fine.

Everything will be fine.
