Depending on what liquid and the surface of your laptop, it varies between the time you have to have the entire system dried and cleaned properly. A common misunderstanding is the laptop can be cleaned off from the surface as soon as possible with a dry fabric or tissue. However, it is the initial splash that forces any liquid further than a normal drip. Surface liquid is easy to clean. However, it is the remains inside the laptop that causes issues. Water seeps through airflow gaps and sits inside your components. Internal electrical components are not meant to withstand moisture and extremely sensitive to corrosion.Corrosion
