Glitter can add a beautiful sheen to lotions and other cosmetics. But its effects on the ocean aren’t so pretty.

BAN GLITTER! I’m for it. Every Christmas my mother mails me something with glitter, and I spend the rest of the year cleaning that crap up. Glitter gets into everything, and everywhere, and then seeps out throughout the year contaminating everything it comes in contact with. I HATE GLITTER, AND PEOPLE THAT SEND IT TO ME. It should be illegal to use the mail service to distribute that stuff.

I’m usually a mild mannered sort like Clark Kent, but when it comes to glitter.......................................

Me too. I owned a cleaning business for years. We had several buildings with day care centers in them. What a mess, especially when floors have to be refinished.

You think you’ve vacuumed it all and are ready to apply the floor finish, then you find some you missed and have to get the vacuum back out.

The other problem is that glitter has rough edges that get stuck in the pile and fabric of carpets. The vacuumer goes over and over the same spot but the glitter does not go away.

Argh!

I am sure it would not be difficult.
As for glitter I hate the stuff. 4 years ago I rcvd a live small Blue Spruce at Xmass as a gift and it had a Glitter incrusted ribbon on it. I kept it in the basement till the ground thawed.

I am still finding that crap down there.

Ban the stuff

Maybe the glitter gun won’t get invented and the Cybermen wreak more havoc.

Surely even a glitter problem can be vacuumed and mopped away?

What’s wrong with mixing more glitter in the varnish? If you cannot hide it, flaunt it.

Is the biodegradable glitter made from feral swine?
