Yes, you can vacuum glitter. According to the provided reference, "[v]acuuming should always be a part of the process when you're trying to figure out how to get glitter off the floor, hard surfaces or even furniture."
Here's a breakdown of how to effectively vacuum glitter:
How to Vacuum Glitter Effectively
- Prepare the Area: Ensure the area you are about to vacuum is dry and free from any glue before starting.
- Vacuum Thoroughly: Use your vacuum to pick up the majority of the glitter. You may need to go over the area several times.
- Empty the Vacuum: After vacuuming the glitter, immediately empty the vacuum bag or canister to prevent the glitter from getting re-distributed.
- Clean the Vacuum: You may need to clean the vacuum filters and brush roll, as glitter can sometimes get caught.
Considerations When Vacuuming Glitter
| Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Surface Type | Vacuuming works on floors, hard surfaces, and even furniture. |
| Wet Surfaces | Avoid vacuuming glitter on wet surfaces or areas with glue, as this can cause the glitter to clump up and be more difficult to remove. This can also damage your vacuum. |
| Vacuum Type | Most vacuum cleaners, including upright and canister models, are suitable for cleaning up glitter. |
While vacuuming is effective for removing the bulk of the glitter, it may not get every single piece. For more thorough cleaning, consider other methods in conjunction with vacuuming, such as using sticky rollers or cloths.
