Happy hump day, kids! Have you ever broken a glass and had difficulty picking up all of the shards? It can be a real pain - literally! Scroll on down for a few tips on how to clean up all those little pieces.
HOW TO PICK UP GLASS SHARDS
- Wet a piece of cotton wool. Dab this over the area where the glass splinters are. The damp cotton wool will pick up the shards.
- Use an old piece of soap. Wet it and dab it over the splinters. It will pick them up. Be careful not to touch the end picking up the splinters!
- Wet a piece of newspaper or butcher's paper. Dab one side over the shards and collect them. The advantage to this method is that you can clean up a wider area of splinters quicker.
- Take a slice of soft bread, lay it over the glass shards, press, and carefully pick it up. The shards will stick in the bread.

Curses of curses, how many times has some glass object slipped from my hands, I swept and swept, vacuumed, figured I got it all, and then? Couple days later, there I go, stepping into some tiny iota of glass, being barefoot. Grrrr......
