How To Get Glass Out Of Clothes

DucRider

I have (had) a mirror above my bed, and my Then broke it.. Information technology wasn't safety drinking glass, and there are tiny shards all over the place. <BR><BR>I'm not that worried nigh the sheets - I'thousand going to milk shake them out and wash them two or three times, but the comforter is filled with down and dry out clean only..<BR><BR><BR>Any tips on making sure that every single tiny shard of glass is off of it? I was thinking of trying to shake it out and so using one of those gluey rollers or something..

If she broke the mirror, you obviously need stronger restraints... -- View paradigm here: https://cdn.arstechnica.internet/forum/smilies/eyebrow.gif --<br><br>Do you have an outdoor clothes line? Hang the comforter outside, then whack it with a stick to dislodge whatever drinking glass (like how they used to clean rugs before vacuums were invented).<br><br>Then get information technology dry out cleaned.

If you lot're going to replace the mirror might I suggest safety glass, or placing a sheet of Plexiglas over the mirror?<BR><BR>Either that, or ban hairbrushes from the bedroom.
