Can bubbles cause water damage ?

Hey I have a pretty weird question and I'm probably just being paranoid but my friends had the great idea to start blowing bubbles right next to me while I was on my laptop and some of them landed and popped on my keyboard and speakers do you think this could cause any form of water damage because it's water and soap? My laptop is brand new and I was so mad (I have the new MacBook air m1)

Hi xiaohanfromparis,


We understand you have some concerns about potential liquid contact with your Mac. We'll be happy to help!


You are right to be careful, contact with liquid can result in issues that wouldn't be covered under warranty. While we can't determine if there was enough liquid to reach internal components, we're happy to provide some information that may help.


First, if you haven't yet, cleaning your Mac and it's keyboard using the steps recommended on the following page, may help prevent liquid from entering and exposing internal components: How to clean your Apple products


If you're encountering issues with your Mac since this happened, taking it into a local store or service provider where it can be inspected first-hand by an Apple Certified Technician would be the best next step. You can find locations nearest to you and book an appointment online using the Apple Support app available for iOS devices, or using the following page to Find Locations.


For additional information about liquid contact check out the following page: Liquid damage to Mac computers and accessories not covered by warranty


We hope this helps!
