WFMW: Lint roller- another use

Today is the Greatest Hits Edition of Works For Me Wednesday- where WFMW tipsters go back in their archives and share at least one of their greatest tips with the populous . . . . . here's mine.

Today’s handy tip comes from a bright idea I had out of necessity. Yesterday we had a light bulb shatter and scatter pieces all over our bathroom floor. I swept the whole floor and then swept it again. Since we are still walking around the house barefoot, I knew I had to make sure I picked up every miniscule piece of glass. My flooring is off-white so it was quite difficult to see every piece. After sweeping I ran my hand lightly over the floor to see if I had it all and of course, I cut myself on a itty bitty piece. [insert heavy sigh here]. So—here’s my big idea for making sure you pick up every last piece—a lint roller. I have a sticky sheet lint roller and so I rolled it over the whole floor once, threw away that sheet and then rolled it again (we won’t mention the dust bunnies it also picked up).
What a super idea!
I also plan on trying this the next time a light bulb breaks on the carpet too- no matter how great the suction on my vac is- I don't get the pieces that get embedded way down deep.

You can also use a piece of soft bread...my grandma taught me this when little bear dropped the coffee pot on the floor. (It was empty.) And since no one here will eat the ends they got put to good use!!
