Here are a few tips from White Supply and Glass to keep your kids "window safe" during National Home Safety Month Install window guards and window stops—window stops go on the side of the window tracks to keep the window from opening more than 4 inches. Whenever possible, open windows from the top, NOT the bottom. Keep furniture away from windows to limit a child's access. Don't depend on screens to keep children from falling out. Screens keep bugs out; they won't keep children in. Be careful when opening windows that have been closed all winter, they could crack or break. If a window breaks follow these simple steps to clean up the glass. Never, Ever Use a Vacuum: Trying to suck up the glass will ruin your machine! Start with a Broom: Sweep up everything you can and dispose of the pieces in a paper grocery bag. Be sure to carefully shake off pieces stuck in the bristles and dustpan into the bag. Finish with a Slice of Bread: This is such a cool trick! Take a slice of soft sandwich bread and press it into the floor, the way you would press a stamp onto a stamp pad. The dust-like particles that can't be swept stick to the bread. Continue pressing until the bread is coated with glass. I used 4 slices for a 10-foot-square area.
