How to dry a banknote?
Drying a banknote is used while maintaining its integrity. To do this you will need a terry towel and several sheets of white paper. First, the bill must be placed between layers of terry towel. This material absorbs moisture well. Next, the banknote must be placed between two sheets of white paper. A thick book is placed on top as a load. The sheets will need to be changed several times until the bill is completely dry.
Software recovery
This is perhaps the most radical method, and it’s not for nothing that it ended up at the end of the article. It’s worth resorting to if none of the above helped. This option involves rebooting the system and completely reinstalling the firmware. This is a universal method that will help you save on a service center and avoid having to deal with a “brick phone” that does not play sounds and loses a significant part of its functionality.
In this case, if you make a backup, everything will be saved (files, music, purchased applications, photos, etc.), but the settings will be reset to standard. In addition, this method requires a computer, and in terms of duration, this repair method will take the most time.
To restore the operating system, make sure that iTunes is installed on your computer. If necessary, download from the official Apple website. Then:
- Install the latest iTunes updates if required by the program;
- Connect your smartphone via the original USB cable;
- The next step is to put your iPhone into emergency mode (also called DFU). This is necessary for the application to recognize the phone immediately. This is especially helpful if this is your first time going through these steps. In addition, this significantly reduces the firmware time.
How to do this: for phones 6th generation and lower - hold down the lock and “Home” buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds, after the allotted time, continue to hold “Home” and release the power button. Repeat this step until iTunes recognizes the device.
For models 7 and above - since Apple has changed the mechanical Home button to a touch button, the process is slightly different. To put your smartphone into DFU, hold both the volume buttons on the side and the phone lock key, the same as for older models, for 10 seconds. Release "Power", but keep the volume swing until the program sees the iPhone.
- To understand whether you did everything correctly, just receive a notification from the program. A window should pop up saying that iTunes recognized the iPhone;
- Make sure you have made a backup. To do this, take your iPhone and go to “Settings”, click on the very top line where your name or nickname is written, then move the checkbox to the right to “iCloud Backup”, and then click on “Create a backup copy”. During copying, the smartphone must be constantly connected to the Wi-Fi network;
- Next, one single action will be available in the window and this is what needs to be done - “Restore iPhone”. This action will remove the outdated firmware and install the new, latest and available one. During the process, it is strictly forbidden to disconnect the smartphone from the computer.
This action will not only fix the “Headphones” mode that won’t turn off, but also reset unnecessary data, free up space and fix other problems.
After completing the procedure, the user will have to go through the same thing when he first picked up the iPhone - select the country, language, enter the login and password for the ready-saved Apple ID account, and so on. If you decide to erase the data, then refuse to restore the copy. Do not forget that for all actions an active SIM card must be inserted into the iPhone.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that you always create backup copies on your iPhone, set up automatic data backup in iCloud, and regularly create copies when connecting your smartphone to a computer and using iTunes.
If all the recommendations that we described did not help you disable headphone mode, most likely the problem is in the headphones themselves or in your device. In this case, you need to take your device to a service center so that specialists can diagnose and repair it, if possible. Just be sure to make sure that this is an official Apple service center or its partners, otherwise no one will be responsible for the quality of work.

Replacing a banknote in Sberbank
Another way to restore, or rather replace money, is to contact Sberbank. In this case, it is important that the serial number is completely preserved. If a banknote is torn during the washing process, you can try to restore it from several scraps. The bill must be preserved at least 50%. It can be replaced at any branch free of charge.
Nuances:
- if the banknote was issued before 1995, then its replacement may be refused;
- paper money cannot be replaced without a stored serial number;
- Replacement will be refused if less than half of the banknote was saved.
Do not rush to throw away a banknote if it has been accidentally washed. First of all, you need to pay attention to the degree of preservation of the watermark and serial number. If these two factors are present, you can quickly replace it with a jar. No additional means will be required to restore the appearance of the banknote.
Features of exchanging damaged banknotes
Is it possible to change money at the bank after washing it in the washing machine? Yes. If they are torn or badly frayed in the washing machine, go to the exchange office of the relevant institution. They must accept banknotes, both worn and torn. The only downside is that there may be a commission fee. Rubles are taken everywhere and without interest. But problems may arise with dollars and euros (and other foreign currencies). There is a fee charged - its size depends on the condition of the banknotes.
How to exchange money washed in a washing machine? To do this, a person needs to take with him a passport, a damaged banknote and come to any bank branch. You need to contact the cashier.
If the employee believes that the money is real and the numbers and denomination are distinguishable on it, then the replacement occurs on the spot. If the banknotes are heavily washed and the cashier doubts their authenticity, then an examination will be needed. The client will be asked to fill out forms, write a statement, leave the damaged bill and pay for the upcoming work. Yes, you will have to pay extra for the examination. It will be appropriate and justified only in the case of checking large sums, dollars and euros. There is no point in checking small denominations, since you will pay more than you receive.
You cannot do without an examination if:
- part of the banknote was lost;
- the employee believes that the torn parts are from different banknotes;
- Serial number is not visible.
After a certain time, the client will be notified of the decision. If the authenticity of the bill is confirmed, you will be asked to pay a fee and a replacement will be issued.
Refusal to exchange money is not excluded. This is possible if:
- the banknote was issued in 1995 or earlier;
- half or more of the banknote is lost;
- On the money there are State Sign marks “sample”, “test”, etc.
There are also restrictions on foreign currency. If dollars, euros, pounds or francs are very worn, they will not be accepted for exchange. Here the bank takes banknotes for collection - they accept them for a commission, and the money in local currency is transferred to the account. Bank commissions vary, but not more than 10%.
Attention! If you brought money to the bank for exchange, and it is more than 50% intact, the denomination and serial number are visible on it, and the valid year of issue is indicated, the cashier is obliged to accept it. In case of refusal, you have the right to complain to higher authorities.
How to dry washed banknotes
In most cases, washed dollars or Russian rubles do not lose their usual appearance, since banknotes are made from special durable paper with special paint applied. Therefore, it is quite difficult to seriously damage them during washing if bleach or chlorine-containing substances were not used in the process. When wondering what will happen if you wash money, you should not panic right away - the banknotes only become cleaner, and the colors remain intact. In supermarkets, this money cannot be distinguished from ordinary money.
There is a certain sequence of actions on how to dry money after washing:
- Place a piece of white paper on a flat surface.
- Spread the washed wet bill on this sheet.
- Place another sheet of clean white paper on top of the banknote and cover it with a large book.
- After the money has dried a little, the sheets need to be replaced with dry ones.
After thorough drying under a book, paper bills will return to their original appearance. What should I do if I washed and dried the money, but it is damaged (corners are torn off, there are punctures, or the bill is torn into 2 parts)? When contacting Sberbank, you need to fill out the appropriate application. After reviewing the document, bank employees are required to replace the banknotes with undamaged ones.
Air drying process
Wait a while and check the bills. If the wipes are heavily saturated with water, replace them with new ones. Next, turn the bills over to the other side up every half hour. This will allow you to dry evenly and ultimately get even, unwarped bills.

If you have time, use a hair dryer instead of a fan. In this case, also first place the bill on a napkin. Next, blow the banknote with a hairdryer, turning it over from time to time.
What happens after washing?
How many times do we convince ourselves to empty all our pockets before washing anything, but laziness takes its toll and we simply forget to do this. And as practice shows, it’s in vain. After all, the payment for this can be a washed passport or bank card, as in our case.
A bank card is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or, more simply, plastic, which is resistant to moisture, temperature, and chemical attack. All information about the cardholder and his account is recorded on a magnetic tape or chip located on the card. Most new cards have just magnetic tape.
After washing a plastic card with a magnetic tape in an automatic machine, in 70% of cases nothing serious happens. She continues to work as before. But it must be said that this is the case if the card was washed at a low temperature. If the card was in your pocket, this can also save it. But the card is damaged by locks, buttons and other parts on clothes that can scratch the magnetic tape. A magnet can ruin the card, but fortunately there is none in the washing machine.
If you mistakenly wash your card in the washing machine, don't panic. First, take a dry cloth and wipe it, let it sit for a while and dry completely. Inspect the card for damage and whether the numbers have been erased. If everything looks fine, then you can check the card’s functionality at the nearest ATM. Work with the card several times, making sure that it is in good working order, because the card may work every other time, and this is already bad.
If you happen to wash not a bank card, but a troika card to pay for travel in Moscow, then nothing may happen to it either. Everything will depend on the mode in which it was washed. If you notice the card at the very beginning of the wash, you can pull it out, as we wrote about how to do this in the article How to open a washing machine during washing?
