Remedy # 8: Shards of glass

Sometimes in the household glass plates, jugs or glasses break and glass shards are spread here and there. It is also common that we collect the shards of glass and throw them away carelessly and do not think that it may hurt the passerby.

Do not walk around the place barefooted;
Clean the area with a broom and try to collect all the pieces;
Then carefully pick the shards of glass with a dust pan;
