Salt water is the worst. It takes a lot of effort to clean it all off and it causes corrosion all the while. Even the ones that do hit water, they get them out as fast as they safely can.

As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong), SpaceX have only reused previously-wet farings on their own Starlink launches. They don't risk potentially damaged parts on external customers.
