Does kinetic sand hold germs?

Almost every child passed the sand playing stages in their lives. But gone are days when sand playing is just limited to regular sand wherein your kid could be prone to be exposed to germs, bacteria, dirt, and what have you.

Thanks to kinetic sand, kids could play with clean sand made with 98% natural fine sand and 2% non-toxic polymer, dimethicone, or simply silicone oil. This fantastic binding agent makes it resemble wet sand that you could let flow, slide, and slip through your fingers seamlessly. It also makes kinetic sand never dry out and to stick only to itself; that’s why it’s mess-free.

The creators of kinetic sand know that their target market is the children, and they made sure it’s safe and contains anti-microbial ingredients to prevent germs. And no, kinetic sand doesn’t hold any germs for the main reason that it doesn’t contain any water at all; hence there are no germs and bacteria, and it’s not prone to them either. Kinetic sand is also gluten-free and dust-free.

There’s no need to disinfect or sanitize kinetic sand and just make sure the hands of your kid is dry and clean before playing with it.

If you just feel like disinfecting it, just freeze the sand, and that’s it! You could also satisfy your desire to sanitize it by just spraying sanitizer on the sand or spraying it with a diluted bleach water solution. You could spread the kinetic sand in thin layers and spray the top and flip it over to spray the other side.

Let in completely dry under the sun, and it’s ready to be used again and again.
