5 tips to quickly get rid of sand from your belongings at the beach!
There is nothing more frustrating than returning from a sunny day at the beach only to find sand everywhere: on your towels, clothes, and even in your car. Fortunately, there are some simple tips to quickly get rid of this stubborn sand. Discover our 5 practical tips, including a new accessory that is revolutionizing the world of beach gear: the beach broom!
1. Use a beach broom: the revolutionary sand-removing tool
To say goodbye to sand in an instant, the ideal solution is to use a beach broom. This tool, still relatively unknown but highly effective, is specifically designed to efficiently remove sand from towels, clothes, and other beach belongings. Thanks to its soft bristles and ergonomic design, the beach broom removes sand without damaging your fabrics. Compact and lightweight, it easily fits into your beach bag.
Bonus Tip: Use your beach broom while packing up your towel/ beach mat or getting into your car. This way, you avoid bringing sand back home!
2. Shake your towels and beach mats correctly
When leaving the beach, shaking your towels is an instinct, but did you know there is a technique to make it more effective? Instead of shaking them horizontally, hold the towel by the corners and shake it vertically with several quick flicks. The sand will fall off more easily. For optimal results, then use your beach broom to remove any remaining grains of sand especially when your towel is still wet.
3. Use baby powder on your skin
Baby powder is a great ally against sticky sand. The talcum absorbs moisture, preventing the sand from sticking to your skin. Apply it to your feet, legs, and arms before leaving the beach, and gently rub to shake off the sand (it will also act as a gentle natural body scrub too).
While this tip is effective for the skin, don’t forget to complement it with your beach broom as it is also great yet very soft on the skin, especially on your feet after a swim. No need for a foot rinse (which isn’t great for the planet anyways), just wait a minute for the sand to dry a little and remove every grain with a few quick sweeps!
4. Use the mini version of our beach broom
Our new smaller and more compact version of our revolutionary beach broom can be very useful for removing sand that accumulates in hard-to-reach places, such as the seams of bags, the edges of shoes, or small gadgets like phones or earbuds. Its small size allows for precise sand removal, especially for small objects that tend to fall into the sand multiple times if you're clumsy like me. A quick sweep helps eliminate sand without leaving a trace!
Combine this method with the classic beach broom for a complete and effective cleaning of all your belongings!
5. Opt for mesh bags to store your belongings
Mesh bags are perfect for preventing sand from getting home with you. The fabric allows sand to pass through the holes, rather than getting trapped inside. After a day at the beach, simply shake out your bag before getting into the car to get rid of any sand.
For an even more thorough clean, use your beach broom on your towels, clothes, and other accessories before placing them in the mesh bag.
