When a glass object breaks in your home, a situation of potential danger is created. Immediate cleaning is essential, but it must be carried out with the right attention to ensure that no fragments remain, which could cause injuries later.

Initial precautions

First of all, security: it is essential to create a safe perimeter around the affected area. Make sure to keep people and pets away, in order to prevent accidents. Wear closed and robust shoes to protect your feet and thick gloves to protect your hands during cleaning.

Recommended steps for effective cleaning:

1. Collect the most obvious pieces: Enroll the area with a light, perhaps that of your smartphone, to clearly identify the pieces of glass. With the hands protected by gloves, collect the largest fragments and gently deposited in a safe container.

2. Elimination of average fragments: Once the larger pieces have been collected, it's time to focus on medium fragments. The use of a palette and broom or specific vacuum cleaner for hard surfaces can be very effective. Move slowly and carefully, to avoid spreading the fragments further.

3. capturing the thinner pieces: Some fragments, especially smaller ones, may escape broom or vacuum cleaner. In this case, an old trick can come to the rescue: use a piece of fresh bread or a slice of potato. Gently press the glass: the small pieces will easily stick.

4. Double control: After following all the steps, take a torch and make a new verification. If you identify other fragments, you can collect them with a damp cloth or, alternatively, an adhesive roller that is usually used for clothes.

5. Post-operation cleaning: This step is fundamental. The tools you used must be carefully cleaned. Make sure to wash and inspect the broom and the palette well. Also check your shoes to ensure that there are no pieces of glass attached.

In conclusion, despite being a common situation, the breakdown of a glass object requires careful and methodical cleaning to ensure everyone's safety.
