There’s nothing quite like the sound of glass shattering to freeze you in your tracks. Even after you pick up the large shards, the last thing you want is one of those stubborn, hard-to-see glass flecks to get stuck in your or your kids’ feet.
After you’ve swept up all the broken glass, you can use a lint roller to ensure the area is truly all clear of any remaining glass pieces. The sticky tape of the lint roller is perfect for picking up tiny shards that a broom or vacuum might leave behind. Leave it to the humble lint roller to one day save you from a nasty glass splinter.
Keep in mind that broken glass can travel much farther than the initial danger zone. Always check beyond the area where the glass broke by about 15 feet, moving furniture around to ensure that you’ve rolled up every last piece.
