Yesterday my 9ds big stuff fish he won from the fair split open. What
a wonderful joyous time we had, making "snow" angels in his room,
throwing it at the fan and watching it fly, just rolling and playing
in it. Well now comes time to clean it up. (Must all good things come
to an end :( . Well it is everywhere in the house even a few in the
fridge LOL.

I have went through 14 vacuum cleaner bags even emptying some out to
reuse.

My question is is ther anyone who has been thru this and knows any
secret tricks to cleaning theses up. I would appreciate any advice !!!!

Well I went through this with two bean bag chairs, as I have told the story
before. After a week of playing in the "snow" I used a scoop and pour method
using a clean dustpan and later a small sand shovel. However it may not be
the method you will like since I only ended up with enough beans to refill
ONE chair! Tiny beans still show up periodically behind bookshelves etc
about three years later.

But it was less work for my preferences than vacuuming - and I hate the
process of changing bags so the idea of emptying and reusing makes me think
of the labors of Hercules!

A shop vac!
Our bean bag chairs have blown open a couple times. Daily we have paper,pop
corn and left over creations
The shop vac has been the fastest picker-upper yet. My kids especially the 2
& 4 yo's love to vac so I just go in and finish if there is any left. We
have wood floors so that may make a difference..

Have a Nice Day!

Get a big shopvac.

I think that would probably work the fastest.

I can't remember how we cleaned it all up when it happened to us many moons
ago :o).
