The disclosure relates to an improved tool and method for effecting the washing of sand or particulates from casing perforations and channels in production formations in subterranean wells. The tool employed comprises an outer body suspended from a first tubing string and having vertically spaced seals in engagement with the casing wall above and below the set of casing perforations to be washed. Radial wash ports are provided in the outer body between the annular seals. An inner body, carried by a second tubing string is inserted within the first tubing string and outer body and effects a sealing engagement with the bore of the outer body at a location below the radial wash ports. Washing fluid is then introduced into the well through the annulus defined between the first and second tubing strings and the sand laden washing fluid is returned to the well surface through the bore of the inner body and the connected second tubing string.
