This super simple trick for cleaning up glitter is actually GENIUS

Trine Jensen-Burke

Still finding glitter from EP?

Yep, you know as soon as you apply that glorious undereye glimmer than you’ll be finding speckles for weeks.

Glitter, much as we understand how pretty it is and how tempting it is to want to use it, is pretty much the work of the devil.

Somehow, no matter how careful everyone is when using it, always ends up on every surface in your home and part of your body once the tube is opened.

So if you have ever wept as you are frantically trying to remove glitter spills, this hack is for you, my friend.

Are you ready? If you are having a bit of a glitter emergency in your house, get some playdough (it needs to be soft and new, hardened, old playdough won’t work) and roll it over the spill.

What you will see, is that the playdough will mop that glitter right up – far more effectively than any hoover or mop will do.

How clever is that?!

And the best bit? The bonus is that you’ll now be left with glittery playdough – and if that isn’t a win-win, well, then we don’t know what it!
