Key Fob

You may want to let it dry out for a little longer - I'd recommend 2-3 days. A day in a bag of rice should do the job, but why take a chance? Put everything in an open container and place it in front of a fan to speed the process. Doesn't have to be much of a fan, just something to keep the air stirred up a little bit.

Most "industrial" contact cleaners will displace water. That will help but it may not be compatible with the plastic case.

Good luck.

Mine sat in the washer for over a hour as my work clothes soaked. Once I realized I just wiped it off with a paper towel pointed it at the car and it worked. No days of drying or rice. It wasn't even wet where the key goes in

Water Displacement 40th formula (aka WD40) should be fine on the case

WD-40 will do a good job, but it's oily, attracts dust and pocket lint, and stains clothes. Contact cleaner evaporates and leaves no residue.
