How to safely remove broken glass: 5 tips for a clean environment
When dealing with broken glass, it is very important to take care of safety during cleaning. SSPDaily has told you how to do it correctly.
Use thick gloves and a broom
Using thick gloves, carefully pick up large pieces of broken glass. Sweep the area to collect smaller fragments, avoiding contact with your hands. Dispose of the glass in a sturdy container, such as a cardboard box, and close it before throwing it in the trash.
Vacuum the area
After removing any large pieces of glass, use a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment to clean the area. This will help remove any debris from the floor and surrounding areas. Be sure to empty the vacuum cleaner bag carefully so that glass does not fly around.
Use adhesive tape for small shards
If there are tiny shards that are difficult to pick up with a broom or vacuum cleaner, use duct tape to gently pick them up from the surface.
Inspect and double-check
After cleaning the area, take a close look around to make sure you haven't missed any pieces of glass. Run your finger over the surfaces to thoroughly check for any residue, which will help prevent accidents or injuries caused by unnoticed glass shards.
Dispose of glass properly
After all glass has been removed and the area thoroughly cleaned, dispose of gloves and all materials used in the cleaning process. Seal the container with the broken glass before throwing it away, and inform others in the room of the recent cleanup so they are aware of the situation.
