Lamp Bulb Tube
Lamp Bulb Tube
Shattered Fluorescent lamp bulb. Do we clean everything?
We were fixing a kitchen light and had to replace those fluorescent light bulbs (the long tube ones you see in offices and schools), and one shattered over the sink and some shards got onto clean dishes. Do I have to rewash and clean everything? I heard these bulbs have mercury in them.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please, clean everything. I know it will take some time, but it's worth it.The big fat ones had a lot of mercury in them. (T-12) The newer ones (T-8) don't have any. This is why the old ones are being phased out.
Thanks for visiting!
