Troubleshooting
Sand feels too dry and crumbly
Gently knead the sand between your hands for a few minutes. The warmth and moisture from your hands should help restore its cohesion. If it's significantly dry, a very light misting of water (just a few sprays) and kneading can help, but avoid over-watering.
Sand is not holding its shape well
Ensure the sand is not too wet. If it feels damp, spread it out on a clean surface to air dry slightly. If it's too dry, knead it as described above. Consistent play and handling usually help it regain its optimal texture.
Sand has gotten stuck on clothing or carpets
Allow the sand to dry slightly if it feels wet. Then, try to brush or vacuum away as much as possible. For stubborn residue, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the area, followed by a dry cloth.
Sand has foreign objects mixed in
Carefully pick out any visible foreign objects by hand. If small particles remain, you can try sifting the sand through a fine-mesh sieve. Ensure play occurs in a clean environment to minimize this.
