How to dry a soaked wallet at home: If your wallet gets wet, here is a simple way to dry it without damaging its shape. Use a soft cloth to soak up as much water as possible. Place two cards inside to help maintain its shape. Add a little rice inside — it absorbs moisture. Keep the wallet closed while drying so it doesn’t lose shape. If you can, place it in the sun; if not, leave it in a dry spot for 4-5 hours. Avoid using a hair dryer as it can damage the material. This method keeps your wallet dry, intact, and looking as good as before.
