Yes, that is why I put the thick glove, mitt or rag over my hand, for those
large! pieces, and the vacuum did the job with the smaller, and if any
really! small fragments are around, a wet paper towel sucks 'em up; I have
three dogs and could not wait for a sighted person. I lock them in a
separate room when doing this careful cleaning.

Subject: [CnD] picking up broken glass
Yes, if you have sighted help available, that is a great help. But
sometimes we don't. One day when I was alone here, I tripped and dropped
something that shattered all over the kitchen floor. I run about barefoot
much of the time. So, the first thing I did was to put on hard soled
slippers. Then I got the vacuum cleaner and picked up everything I could
from the kitchen floor. While vacuuming I found larger pieces of glass
that the machine wouldn't pick up. Those I very carefully picked up by
hand and put in the trash. This worked very well. But I did some very
careful work. It can be done.
