To remove sand from your clothes, start by shaking them outdoors to get rid of loose sand. Gently brush off remaining sand with a soft brush, avoiding beating the garment against a hard surface. Next, soak the fabric in a basin of cold water for about 10 minutes. This will help separate the sand grains from the fabric.
Additional tips:
- Vacuum cleaner: For stubborn sand particles, use a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool to remove them.
- Detergent: Adding a small amount of detergent to the cold water can help release the sand.
- Air drying: After soaking, allow the clothes to air dry. This will help prevent the sand from becoming embedded in the fabric.
Important considerations:
- Sand in washing machine: Always shake off excess sand before putting your clothes in the washing machine to prevent clogging the pipes.
- Washing instructions: Follow the care instructions on your garment's label for proper washing and drying methods.
