Question: Help with wet books!?

I just got home from school, I open my back pack and I have orange gatorade all over my books (textbooks, library books)!.!.!. and my ipod but it did work anyways!. so how do I dry these books and get the pages looking normal again!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Wipe off the covers and fan the pages out best you can, maybe putting it in front of a fan to dry!. I'm afraid with it being Gatorade, you might be in trouble!. Gatorade is sticky, and likely stained your pages!.

I'm sorry to hear about it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can relate I left my math book out in the heavy rain last year and it was soaked through, a 700 page book! unfortunatly I have to use it this year too!!!! Open it up about half way through so it dries out completely!. I am sorry to say my math book was never the same it's really wrinkled but it's dry! A fan could work to dryyour books although I would suggest a heater or something to make them hot!. If they still don't look the same use those fabric book covers to make the cover look better if it's really wrinkled like mine!. Hope you get your books dry! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Open them up and dry them so that the pages won't stick together!. Use a fan so that the air can circulate and dry the books without too much damage to the pages!.
