Play sand, specifically designed for children's play areas, is usually washed to remove iron oxide and other impurities that can cause staining. This means it generally won't stain clothes. However, some types of sand, like builder's sand, can contain dyes or iron oxide that can leave stains on clothes and skin.
Here are some key points to remember:
- Washed play sand: Designed to be safe for children, it is often washed to remove iron oxide, a common staining agent. This type of sand is unlikely to stain clothes.
- Builder's sand: Can contain dyes or iron oxide and may stain clothes and skin.
- Colored play sand: While some colored play sand is specifically designed to be non-staining, it's essential to check the product description for specific information.
Always check the product description or packaging to confirm if the sand is non-staining.
