If you can get to compressed air, blowing it out from under all the places that it can hide (simm slots too, and connectors) it'll help things along marvellously :)
Compressed air is quick but you get electrostatic charges on the nozzle/hose which aren't friendly to electronic components. Warm ovens and dessicating packets are much gentler at removing moisture. If you need to remove moisture quickly, an air hose will work but be aware of the increased risk of failure. The electrostatic problem also applies when vacuum cleaners for removing dust balls.
