Fill the container with a few packets and add your wet AirPods.

However, I advise against attempting this with AirPods. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The tiny rice grains and other debris can become stuck inside the AirPods, which is more detrimental than helpful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">If this approach fails, move on to Method 3 instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_To_Remove_Water_From_Your_AirPods_Use_Air_Waves\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>3.
