I have just accidentally put a new set of earbuds through a wash cycle. They were in the pocket of a pair of shorts and I didn't check. Naughty me. Is there anything I should do so I have the best chance of them working when they are dry.

Thanks for your response. Will do.
The rice will attract asian's who will repair your earbuds for you ;-)
throw away the rice.
No way, the ear wax adds flavour.
ok, find a wedding happening nearby and sell the rice in smaller bags as "special wedding throwing rice"
Good idea. After making a nice rice meal for nocure, I will place all the unused rise in bags as you have suggested. Local church, here I come.
nocure. want to come over for dinner. I'm making fried rice.
Maybe contact the "Importing 1,100 Bags of Rice" importers for a OzBargain deal on "rice".

Let them dry for a few days
i usually put my earbuds in the dryer along with my shorts (dont find them until I put them on again) and every pair have worked fine.
put them in a bag of rice. the rice absorbs moisture.
leave them for a few days.
once finished - throw away the rice.
