Sanitizing and Disinfecting Jurassic Sand The best way to keep your sand clean is to wash your hands before touching it. Use Cleaning Products: Common products that can be used on sand include Lysol, Chlorox Bleach, and hydrogen peroxide-based sprays. Mist the surface with any of these cleaners. Use the SUN: If you have a sandbox, leave the lid off from 10 am to 2 pm when the Sun's rays are strongest. The same UV rays that cause sunburns are effective at killing germs too. Use the Bucket and Bleach Method: Do this outside and wear gloves and a long-sleeve shirt.
- Fill a 5 gallon bucket halfway with water and add bleach at a ratio of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water (that's 1.5 cups of bleach to every gallon of water).
- Next, pour the sand that needs to be cleaned into the bucket of water and bleach and stir for a moment to ensure good contact.
- Let the sand soak for 15 minutes.
- Rinse the bleach water out by placing a garden hose in the bottom of the bucket and turning on the water slowly. Let the water run over the sides of the bucket for about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Once the sand in the bucket has been thoroughly rinsed, pour off excess water and either return the wet sand to a play box or spread the sand out on a sheet or tarp to drain and dry. If you put it directly in the sandbox/sand tray make sure to leave the cover off so it can dry out
- Fill large roasting pans with sand and place them in the oven at 200° F.
- Bake for 4 to 6 hours.
- Leave the sand in the oven to cool down overnight or for at least 8 hours.
- Use caution when removing sand from the oven as it may still be warm. Handle with care!
