Sorry, ive always had a problem finding the right words for what I mean.

Let me try to reword it, I dont mean literally soaking, but more of a good spray. Not to where water is seeping out or puddling up, just kind of moist. Thats what I did when I used coco im my tank, and I just left the dirt under the hides dry, and I never had a problem.
