Get a pentalobe screwdriver and 99% isopropyl alcohol.
Take the screen off and rinse it throughout with the alcohol.

I needs to be inside an airtight container (covered in dry rice) to have any real use.
I took a LED flashlight and looked into the headphone jack and the SIM card slot and the water sensors are not pink...
I hate to say this but it doesn't look like Apple Care covers water damage:
iPhone and iPod: Liquid damage is not covered by warranty
But I do hope things turn out okay for your phone.
I agree but made mention of it as others in the thread made mention of Apple Care being of help.Of course it's not covered by the warranty... it's a form of damage to the phone.

Dito.Not the dumbest thing I have read but close.
iFixit said:Completely disassemble your device removing all cables and opening all connectors. To displace any remaining liquid around or under any components of the logic board submerge it completely in a suitably sized container filled with isopropyl alcohol. Ideally use a 90% or higher concentration available from a pharmacist or drug store. You can use distilled or deionized water as an alternative cleaning fluid, although this will take longer to dry. Avoid solvents such as ketone, acetone, or naphtha.
i wasnt using the bathroom, i was cleaning my phone and case there and it just basically fell out my hand...
You only quoted a small part of the "Generalized water damage guide"
Disassembling and cleaning the device is always the best way to prevent corrosion, but if the device was not submerged this drying may in some cases be enough to prevent further damage.

I read so many of these stories, why do people continue to get their iPhone out while they are having a slash, they last what? 15-30 seconds normally? You can live without your phone for THAT length of time surely?
Thats actually disturbing. Just think, the motherboard in my refurb iPhone 5 could have been dropped in the toilet in its previous life and could have still passed testing for re-use.
I also wonder how many iphones that fell in water and didnt have their sensors tripped are being put up for sale.
Ah! Copy that. I must be living in a dark cave as I haven't heard of it yet. 'Course until getting my new iphone, I haven't had Apple Care in eons since my others have expired. Thanks for the heads up. I am in the U.S. and will look into it for my new phone.I think they were referring to AppleCare+, which does covered accidental damage. It's only available in the USA (as far as I know), which sucks.
ClearlySilica Gel is the ****. Use that. Much better

You clearly don't understand 99.9% Isopropyl. I had my sister murder (or so we thought) a MacBook with milk. It turned off almost instantly after it fell on the computer and boy was there a lot, around 500ml. Took it apart, removed the HD and the disc drive, gave the lower case a bath in 99% isopropyl, put it back together. Perfect. Would not have survived without it.

How is 'dropping it into the toilet' not submerging it?
This ^^What I am thinking is that since i pulled the phone out literally within 1 second it fell in, the water didnt even have enough time to fill up in the phone ...AND i dried it off immediately after so hopefully I might of just saved it
And perhaps a dab of antibacterial soap.
After all, it did fall in the same place you take a dump. Imagine how dirty it is!
Yep, maybe mix a dab of Palm Olive with the alcohol.
follow this advice and also throw that bag of rice after you are done!! :d
