While going to the beach is one of life's greatest pleasures, cleaning sand out of your car once you get home is undoubtedly a chore.
Those tiny grains tend to get in all manner of places, and sometimes it can feel as if you've accidentally carted half the beach home with you.
However, this doesn't actually have to be the case as one mom on TikTok has revealed her clever hack for ensuring you can get your sandy towels and clothes to the washing machine with minimal mess.
Shannon Doherty, a mother of four known on the video-sharing app as @athomewithshannon, posted her clever trick to keep sand at bay on August 4, with the caption: "GENIUS BEACH MOM HACK. Share with everyone."
She continued: "#learnhow #momhacks #parentinghacks #familyhack #tipsandtricks #learnontiktok."
But how does one go about this?
The video, which can be watched here, begins with Doherty sitting on the beach, wearing a blue striped top and a green skirt, holding a plastic laundry basket.
We can then hear her young daughter asking her: "Mom why do you have a laundry basket at the beach?"

Doherty then replies: "It's a mom hack! Put sandy bathing suits and towels right in the mini laundry basket and shake out the sand. Put it in your trunk and straight to the laundry."
The clip then ends with the mom carrying the basket down the garden path, after having transported it from the beach—simple yet effective!
The video is fast gaining traction online, having already been viewed by more than 448,300 people, and so far received 26,900 likes.
Many took to the comments section to share their views on the fantastic hack.
One TikTok user, Mamacorky2699, wrote: "Awesome hack thanks for the idea we're going to the beach next week."
