Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.

Yes, replacing only the glass in a double-pane window is possible, but you’ll need to hire a window repair professional to tackle this task. Your window repair technician will cut the seal around the existing glass, remove it, install new glass, and create a vacuum between the new panes to fill with insulative gas. This process will restore the energy efficiency of your window while keeping your costs as low as possible. It’s almost always more affordable to undergo this window repair process rather than replace the entire frame along with the glass.

The best way to pack mirrors is to use specially padded cartons or boxes made for mirrors. Be sure to thoroughly wrap the fragile mirror in padded paper or bubble wrap before sliding it into its box. That way, there’s a protective barrier in between the mirror and the box. Then, fill in any gaps with crumpled paper or additional packing materials.

You can buy DIY mirror repair kits to carry out minor repairs on mirrors, but we don’t recommend it. Repairing and resilvering mirrors is a delicate process that involves caustic chemicals and demands a high level of precision for positive results. The materials will likely cost over $100, meaning you won’t be saving that much over hiring a professional. Plus, since mirror repair and resilvering are easy to mess up, you might pay more to hire a repair pro after your DIY attempt. As such, we recommend hiring a mirror repair expert from the start.
