Getting sand out of toys can be a frustrating task, but there are a few methods that can help:
Shake It Out
- Mesh bags: One of the easiest ways to remove sand from toys is to pack them into a mesh bag and shake it vigorously. The mesh allows the sand to fall out while keeping the toys contained.
Cleaning with Baby Powder
- For toys with crevices: If the sand has gotten into crevices of the toys, you can sprinkle some baby powder on the offending area. The powder absorbs moisture and helps loosen the sand, making it easier to remove.
Vacuuming and Brushing
- For larger toys: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove sand from larger toys.
- For small toys: You can use a small brush or even a toothbrush to gently remove sand from smaller toys.
Other Tips
- Avoid using water: If the toys are not waterproof, using water can cause damage.
- Let the toys air dry: After cleaning the toys, let them air dry completely to prevent mold or mildew.
By following these simple tips, you can easily get sand out of your toys and keep them clean and ready for the next play session.
