Woodpusherghd Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I absent-mindedly left my spare Unraid USB flash drive in my dress shirt pocket when I threw my shirt into the washing machine. It went along with my shirt through a complete hot wash cycle. It was a white shirt, so to make matters worse for the flash drive, I had added chlorine bleach to the wash. Believe it or not, it came out none the worse for wear. Reminds me of the old Timex watch commercials; "It takes a licking but keeps on ticking." Quote Link to comment
allanp81 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I had a mobile phone go through a full wash once, left it in the airing cupboard afterwards and it was fine once dried out. Quote Link to comment

I'd recommend planning on replacing it anyway, Sometimes corrosion takes a little time to show up and disable electronics. A hot detergent and bleach bath may have left chemical residue that is slowly doing bad things. Quote Link to comment
