becks Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I just give it a shake, but use a wash bag so the sand doesn't get into the washing machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizT Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Ah.... it brings back memories of my holidays at the beach with the kids. Sand in everything. shake, Wash, shake! Then. Shake, wash, shake. :D It eventually comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Buy more, it's much cheaper then the headache you will get, trying to get it all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becks Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 wet sand will stick to the vet bed, so you need to do the shaking when the bedding/sand is dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becks Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 You can on cool setting BUT how are you going to get all the sand out of the dryer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trisven13 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I would think that it would depend on the type of filter. My new drier has a filter different to my other driers and it collects an amazing amount of stuff. You could always vacuum it out after too????? I will confess to having no knowledge of how much of the sand would end up in the motor and that would be my concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandgrubber Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Sand is a fact of life. Yah, it's messy. But washed sand is sanitary. Accept the things you cannot change. Use a dustpan occasionally to clean up the harmless mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe just consign it to the general bedding pile and use new stuff when you need some for a whelping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
