Here's how Apple recommends cleaning your phone. If you subjected it to excess liquid, you may have damaged your phone.

If you have damaged your phone you will want Apple to have a look at it to see the extent of the damage. Be aware that liquid damage is not repairable and you may be looking at purchasing a new phone.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it diagnosed.
