How to Remove Sand from Clothes?

Published in Laundry Tips 1 min read

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.
