Sanitizing Sand
Sanitizing Sand
In my area in Asia, I cannot seem to find play sand anywhere and I heard that building sand could be used for substrate. However, it was stated that the building sand should be sanitized(I think with water??) but I still do not quite understand how to disinfect it. Any help will be appreciated:)

Re: Sanitizing Sand
If the sand is already washed you shouldn’t need to do it again. Otherwise you can rinse it outside.

Re: Sanitizing Sand
oo ok thanks for the reply:) Will using hot water make any difference? I think Ritzky said something about using it to rinse building sand

Re: Sanitizing Sand
Maybe? Washing is usually done to remove fine silt and contaminants. You can use hot water if you want, but baking the sand would probably be easier if you’re worried about mold, insects, or pathogens.
