Straining water through a cloth has been widely used for household water treatment in many cultures for centuries. A common sari cloth is usually used for this in South Asia, for example (photo on right). Straining through a fine cloth can take out guinea-worm, organic matter, and help clear up turbidity.
Cloth may need to be replaced if there are holes.<br>
Cloth needs to be washed in clean water after every use.
