    Gwhoadi​  you don't. It's dead Jim. Top tip. Don't put high end electronics in a washing machine.

      I really wish it was! It was in accident.. I was washing my clothes at my gf house but I put the headset in the bag… then went to sleep at her crib woke up and just dumped the whole bag into the washer turned it on and went back to sleep.. when I woke up to put my clothes in the dryer that mfa was looking at me like.”why did you do this to me”😭😩

        Gwhoadi​  you could put it in an airing cupboard for several days, or put it on a sunny windowsill for days [don't point the lenses at the sun] put in a stocking or hose and then put it in a container of dry rice to absorb moisture. These tips are probably not going to work.🤷‍♂️

    After washing  put the washing machine on spin dry at 600rpm. That should do it. 😂😂
