How should I prepare Roosa Liiv pink sand before using it for the first time?

Before using Roosa Liiv for the first time, you must thoroughly clean the mineral to remove any fine dust or loose particles generated during mining and packaging. This ensures that the water remains clear and free of sediment. Rinse the sand under cool running water, gently agitating it to wash away surface impurities. You may also soak it in clean water for a short period, then drain and rinse again until the water runs clear.

Once cleaned, you can place the sand in a glass container and fill it with water. The mineral works through contact over time, so allow it to steep for several hours or overnight depending on your preference. This preparation step is crucial because argillite is a natural rock with a dense mineral structure, and initial cleaning helps maximize its adsorption properties by exposing the clean contact surface.
