I'm afraid this is probably too late for Paula but one thing you should
keep in mind when any kind of liquid gets spilled on an electronic device
do not turn it on to see if it still works until you are sure it is
dry. If you do you might cause it to short out causing more damage than
the original spill did.

For whatever it's worth, I understand it has been recommended to use a hair
