Broken a glass?
A clumsy gesture, it happens to everyone.
But when you break a glass, don't rush to clean up.
No ! One must take precautions to avoid cutting oneself.
It is necessary at all costs to guard against any cuts. That would be too stupid!
Fortunately, there is a simple and practical trick to pick up glass without cutting yourself.
Just wrap the debris in newspaper when picking up the glass... With or without a shovel and brush.
And we make sure that the packaging is sufficient before throwing everything in the trash. We explain everything to you.
1. Take 4 or 5 sheets of newspaper and fold them in 4.
2. Once they are folded, moisten them with a trickle of water.
3. Wrap the pieces of glass in newspaper before throwing them in the trash.
There you go, you can now pick up your broken glass without hurting yourself :-)
Simple, practical and effective!
Newspaper, once damp, will be even more protective.
Because the pieces of glass will find it even more difficult to pierce it.
Why ? Because wet newspaper is harder to tear.
This is the ideal trick if you don't have a shovel and broom handy.
But even if you have some, consider this trick to pick up broken glass.
Indeed, you will certainly throw the pieces of glass in the trash after a small domestic accident.
If you don't pack them, it can be very dangerous.
Whoever is going to take the bag out of the trash can cut themselves when closing the trash can...
Or by transporting it to throw it in the dumpster!
There is also a risk that the glass will cut through the plastic bag and your bin will open all over.
To avoid this, there's nothing like good old newsprint.
