LCD's -

LCD's, compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs, the curly light bulbs.... well I dropped one in my daughter's closet yesterday. WHAT AN ORDEAL!!

In a panic (knowing it contained mercury) I did everything wrong... That's way I am confessing the error of my ways - please do not do what I did.

I swept up the glass --DO NOT DO THIS -- PICK UP THE PIECES WITH GLOVES AND DUCT TAPE.

Then I vacuumed up the rest -- DO NOT DO THIS EITHER -- JUST DO THE ABOVE.

Then, I closed off the closet so the cat could not get it -- WRONG AGAIN --
LEAVE THE ROOM OPEN TO AIR OUT THE TOXINS.

I was going to be late for a funeral, so I didn't take the time to read what to do.
An hour later I did, but too late.

So I had to remove everything from the closet, mop with hot steamy water - MY SHARK'S rectangle head had to be thrown away....

Had to clean out the vacuum cleaner, too.... throw away used filters....

Then wash and dry, or dry clean, every single item of clothing in the closet.

So much time taken because one one broken light bulb.

Can't corporate American do a better job than this???
