We had a low energy muted bulb break in our kitchen on a hard flloor and it get unknowingly cleaned up with a broom. (Luckily the break happened right subsequent to an out side door).How can we clean up the broom from any mercury that probably has gotten on it? Thanks
Do they label a special article towel I...
Answers:    Wash it sour with a hose.

The dust you see is actually phosphor dust, non-hazardous stuff. The bulb likely contained only 3-4 milligrams of mercury, not plenty that you'd ever actually see it. 3mg is a mass of mercury about the size of the bb orb in the end of a typical orb point pen!

How do i return with rid of scuff...
gosh i am so sorry that happened, i would wrap the bottom of the broom in a plastic case, and dispose of it where you disposed the broken bulb... It is a haz mat as well as any dampened towels near gloves on on the floor that was swept... I am a little angry that these bulbs are touted as so green when the risk of man toxified is so easy..please be careful
Best vacuums cleaners on the open market today?
Well it's too belated now, but NEVER use a broom or vacuum to clean up mercury.
A broom will break the mercury into smaller drops and spread it around more. The small droplets evaporate faster and are more difficult to verbs up. You will have to throw away the broom.

Wear gloves, and use a wet serious newspaper to clean up spills. Put everything that touched the mercury (clothes, shoes, paper towels, broom) surrounded by a plastic bag, seal it, put it within a garbage bag and throw it away labeled hazardous leftovers. Contact your municipal agency to find out where to dispose of it.
