How do you clean a lot of sand?

I actually used a strainer for draining pasta! I suppose it depends on how much sand you've got to clean. I don't think a pillow case would work though cos it wouldn't let much through (unless your pillow case is full of holes!):D
 
I've seen a people recommend putting it in a pillow case and rinsing through that. Since I wasn't really able to visualize what they were talking about I took a big piece of cotton (sheet or a pillow case would certainly work) and laid it on top of a spaghetti collander. Rinsed for a little while and scooped the sand out into a water bucket, leaving the finest little particles behind. Dump the grit and repeat until out of sand.
 
hey,

i used an old pillow case and it works a treat, just sit it under a tap till the water runs clean.....

you might have to do it in 3\4\5 batches to keep it light work.....
