How do you get shattered glass out of a hotel carpet?
You don’t sweep it. A broom drives the fragments down into the pile, and the next person who walks that floor barefoot finds them.
Somebody broke into this hotel through the glass doors, went through fourteen guest rooms and emptied the fire extinguishers across the main level. Glass in the carpet, discharge on every surface, a hand-rail gouged down to bare wood.
So the carpet gets pulled, not brushed — an extractor, one lane at a time, overlapping passes, until what comes up in the tank runs clear. Same carpet. Nothing replaced. Hotel reopened in a week.
The main level is done. The stairwell is still full of it — that’s the next one.
