How do you get water out of a car trunk?
My friends decided to prank me and filled my trunk with water and those little Orbeez. They didn’t ruin anything thankfully, even though the Orbeez soaked up a lot of water they didn’t get it all. How do I fix this?

“While Orbeezs are tons of fun, I’m almost positive you probably aren’t laughing at the thought of trying to remove them and the water from your trunk. That said, there are some things you can do to remove them!
First, you’re going to have to try and remove all of the Orbeez. They’re slippery, so it may be easiest to grab a bucket or shovel to remove them from your trunk.
Once everything is out of your trunk, see if your carpet is removable. If you can remove the carpet, wash it with warm water and soap. Set it aside to dry flat.
Next, grab some towels and try and soak up as much water as possible. If you have a wet/dry vacuum, this can also help.
After getting any lingering water removed, begin drying your trunk. You can work in sections with a hairdryer until dry.
Depending on your humidity levels, you should leave your trunk open to continue to air dry. If possible, park your car in the sun with the trunk open to speed up the process. Ideally, in a day or two, you should have a clean, dry trunk!
Since you’re working hard to keep your car clean, ensure you have roadside assistance and a good insurance policy to continue to protect it. With the

or roadside assistance again. Jerry has a monthly roadside membership and finds you the best insurance quotes from top providers in seconds!”View full answer
