Removing sand from your body, belongings, or even the beach itself can be a hassle. Here are some tips to make the process easier:
Removing Sand from Your Body
- Use baby powder or cornstarch: Baby powder (or talcum powder) absorbs moisture, making it easier to brush sand away.
- Pro Tip: Put baby powder in a sock, tie it off, and use it as a "dabbing" pad for easier application.
- Brush it off: After applying powder, gently brush off the sand with your hands or a towel.
- Wash off with water: If sand is still lingering, rinse yourself off with water.
- Use a beach brush: These specially designed brushes have bristles that help remove sand from hard-to-reach areas like between your toes.
Removing Sand from Your Belongings
- Shake it out: For clothes and bags, simply shake out as much sand as possible.
- Brush it off: Use a dry towel or a soft brush to remove remaining sand.
- Use a beach broom: This can be helpful for removing sand from blankets or towels.
Removing Sand from the Beach
- Sweep it away: A broom and dustpan can be used to sweep sand off of decks, patios, or other hard surfaces.
- Hose it down: Use a garden hose to rinse off sand from hard surfaces.
- Use a beach rake: This can be used to gather and remove sand from larger areas.
