Let's say there is a lot of dirt on my shirt or on my bed sheet and I need to clean it, or say my shirt is very wet and I need to get rid of excess water.
What is the appropriate verb to describe this action? It is similar to shaking: you will hold the two ends and then shake it kind of hardly to get rid of water or dirt, but does shake really describe what I want to say?
I also looked up snap but I'm not sure if that is applicable here.
