  1. Step 1 Raccogli il doppio della sabbia che ti serve.
    It is likely that some part will be lost during the cleaning process;for this reason, take double the dose you calculated for the project.This way, you will be sure to have enough even after washing.
  2. Step 2 Setacciala per eliminare i sassi e i residui.
    If you have an old strainer or sieve, you can use it to remove all foreign objects;alternatively, you can use a container and tulle.Secure the fabric over the opening of the container using a rubber band, then pour the sand through the fabric.[1]
  3. Step 3 Risciacqua via il materiale organico e tutte le particelle indesiderate.
    Beach sand is full of dirt such as shell fragments, microscopic organisms, silt and other small debris;To get rid of them, fill a bucket half full of water.Gradually add the sand while mixing and continue in this way for a few minutes;when finished, slowly throw away the liquid.[2]
    • Go slowly to avoid throwing away too much sand.
    • Repeat rinsing until the water you throw away is clear.
  4. Step 4 Igienizzala nel forno.
    For a really thorough clean, you can "bake" the sand in the oven after washing it.Try to drain as much of the liquid as possible and then transfer the sand onto dripping pans;set the oven to 150°C and sterilize the material for 45 minutes.[3]
    • The sand on the beaches is teeming with microscopic live organisms.If you're making something that you plan to handle a lot, like kinetic sand, you should sterilize it.
    • If you want to use sand for a pet hermit crab's habitat, you should sanitize it so as not to expose the animal to fungi or bacteria.[4]
  5. Step 5 Rimuovi il sale facendola sobbollire in acqua.
    Transfer it to a large pot and add enough water to cover it.Heat the pan on the stove until the contents begin to simmer, reduce the heat or add more water if it begins to boil briskly;wait a few minutes for the salt to dissolve, remove the pot from the heat and use a large coffee filter to collect the sand.[5]
    • Secure the filter to a large jar with a wide opening using a rubber band;this way, you should be able to separate the solid part from the salt water.Be careful when handling the hot pot and allow the water to cool until it reaches an acceptable temperature.
    • If you want to mix sand with paint, you should remove the salt before proceeding, as this substance can corrode the canvas or paper over time.

  1. Step 1 Copri i sedili e il bagagliaio dell'auto con delle vecchie lenzuola.
    By preventing sand from getting into the gaps between the seats and the back of the car you save yourself the hassle of a thorough cleaning after a day at the beach.Before leaving the house, take some old sheets and cover the internal surfaces.[6]
    • When you return, carefully remove the towels, hang them up to dry, then shake them to get rid of the sand and wash them.
  2. Step 2 Risciacqua gli oggetti insabbiati prima di lasciare la spiaggia.
    If the area is equipped with showers or taps, try to remove as much sand as possible before getting into the car.Take a shower and rinse your feet, chairs, toys and all other objects;if possible, do it while you're still on the beach, then change clothes and put wet swimsuits in plastic bags.[7]
    • If there are no showers or taps, you can bring a tub or basin from home;Fill it with water and rinse off sandy feet and toys before getting in the car.[8]
  3. Step 3 Usa del talco per bambini.
    If the beach is not equipped with showers or you don't want to use them, sprinkle your legs, feet, arms and all sandy areas with talcum powder;when finished, rub them with a towel.[9]
    • Talc works best if your skin is dry.
  4. Step 4 Appendi gli oggetti insabbiati all'aperto quanto torni a casa.
    Despite all your efforts, it is very likely that some sand has remained stuck to your body, objects and spread throughout the house.To prevent this from happening, do not bring towels, bags and other beach items into the house, especially if they are damp;instead, hang them outdoors and shake them once they are dry.[10]
    • When beach items, like beach towels, are dry they are easier to clean.
    • Try painting a drying rack the same color as the exterior walls of your home and attaching it to a wall that overlooks your backyard.You can use it to hang towels to dry or to rinse deckchairs or flip-flops.
  5. Step 5 Stabilisci una zona in cui cambiarti d'abito.
    Create an intimate "changing room" outside your home by hanging sheets on a clothesline in the garden or patio.If this solution is not possible and people have to change inside, choose a room close to the entrance;Have sheets or towels on the floor to retain as much sand as possible.[11]
    • If everyone changes clothes at the beach, there is a better chance that the house will stay clean.
  6. Step 6 Lava il costume a mano.
    Place it in the sink and rinse it with cold water;Then, fill the sink with more cold water and a teaspoon of neutral detergent.Leave the costume to soak for 15 minutes, drain the water and remove all traces of soap.[12]
    • If you wash your covered-up costume in the washing machine, you can contaminate the appliance and damage the costume itself, especially women's ones.
  7. Step 7 Usa un aspiratore portatile.
    If the other remedies have not brought good results (which is quite likely), you should use the vacuum cleaner to clean the floors or the car.The best tool to use is a cordless handheld vacuum that can get into corners, reach the bottom of your beach bag, and since it doesn't have the obstacle of cords, you can even use it in your car.[13]
