Step 2 - Then, sweep the glass into one single pile.
Step 3 - Vacuum the entire are around the broken glass.  Make sure to vacuum beyond the area to ensure nobody steps on a piece a few days later.
Step 4 -  In this step we have to make sure that all the tiny pieces are cleaned up.  You can do this by wetting a paper towel and wipes the floor.  If there are any fine areas where glass my get stuck, using duct tape to get the glass out is a great idea.
