If you accidentally washed your AirPods, immediately turn them off and dry them thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using heat or direct sunlight. Let them dry completely for at least 24 hours before attempting to use or charge them. Although AirPods have some water resistance, they are not waterproof, and washing them might compromise their functioning. If they don’t work after drying, contact Apple support for possible repair or replacement options.
