I have used a solution from M3, pretty sure it contains IPA.

What water was it in? Are platters dirty? How much dirt got into the drives?

Also, what drive is it?

To be honest (and fair to the person whose data it is) if you don't already know how to do it you should outsource to someone who does

Then go throw some old drives in a puddle for a while and get practicing :)
