Keep a dustpan and brush handy at all times and get in a regular habit of wiping up your work area each time work with cutting or grinding glass or working with foil and solder. It's also a good idea to wipe up all the surfaces of your work area at the end of a work session and when you start again if you have been away for a few days, since dust can settle in your work area.

This is another item to pick up on a trip to the hardware store. Expect to pay around $5.
