[net.misc] Removing broken glass from clothing

clauzon@watarts.UUCP (Cecilia Lauzon) (01/02/85)

Does anyone know of a sure-fire way to remove super-small pieces of
broken glass from clothing?  A drinking glass got broken in an open
clothes drawer and it seems that the clothes still have little pieces
of glass in them after:
            a) removing the glass manually
            b) shaking the clothes out
            c) washing the clothes.

Any suggestions?

If the pieces are truly that small (which from the things you've tried
already, it sounds like they are) try vacuuming the clothes.  Also, a good
clothes brush just might loosen the glass particles.  Put masking tape over
the places where there is glass, and the glass might stick to the tape.  If
there is still glass left in the clothes, ask a reputable dry cleaner to deal
with it for you.
