Pro Tip: Keep Your Sandbag Clean & Long-Lasting
For best results, it is recommended to place your chosen filler inside large Ziploc bags before inserting them into the sandbag. This helps to:

Keep the inside of the sandbag clean
Protect the zip and Velcro closures from grit or sand
Contain spillage if the closure is not fully sealed

Double-bagging the filler is also a good practice.
