My key fob took a trip thru the washing machine and survived. I was surprised it still functioned , I figured it would be like my iPhone when it took a swim in the local river and died.

I always pull the battery and drown with 99% Isopropanol to avoid corrosion.

It's usually the drier that will mess up small electronics. I have a USB flash drive that probably been through the washing machine better than 20 times.
