Kitchen Cleaning Tip

Everyone drops a clear glass on the floor at some point. Even the tiniest shards can cut fingers and toes. Clear, broken glass is hard to see. Stepping on a piece you missed during cleanup is not the way to find the last shards. First, before starting the cleanup task, put on a pair of shoes or sneakers. Next, grab a flashlight and turn out the lights. The broken glass will reflect the light, making even small pieces easy to spot.

If you’re still not sure you got it all, then take a wide strip of masking tape or painter tape and press it sticky side down on the floor. This works good on tile and wood floors as well as carpets.
