5. Maintenance and Storage
Brookstone Snd is designed for low maintenance and long-term usability.
- Storage: Always store the sand in its original airtight container or a similar sealed container when not in use. This prevents dust and debris from contaminating the sand.
- Cleaning: If the sand becomes mixed with small debris, it can often be separated by hand. Avoid washing the sand with water.
- Longevity: The sand is formulated to never dry out, so it will retain its unique properties indefinitely if stored correctly.
6. Troubleshooting
While Brookstone Snd is generally trouble-free, here are solutions to common inquiries:
- Sand feels less cohesive: Ensure the sand has not come into contact with water or excessive humidity. If it has, allow it to air dry completely in a clean, dry environment.
- Sand is messy: Although designed to be mess-free, small particles may escape the play area. Use a tray or mat to contain the sand. A vacuum cleaner can be used for cleanup on hard surfaces.
- Unusual odor: The sand is non-toxic and should not have a strong odor. If an unusual odor is detected, ensure it is stored in a clean, dry environment away from contaminants.
