Things You Will Need
-
Unplug the lava lamp, if it is not already. Put on a pair of rubber cleaning gloves to protect your hands from the glass. Remove the glass pieces and dispose of them.
-
Wait for the "lava" to cool and solidify, then dispose of it.
-
Blot water with a rag. If the broken lava lamp spilled on carpet, spray the area with a carpet-cleaning solution and allow to penetrate for two minutes.
-
Rinse the rag in water and squeeze out. Rub the area with the damp rag.
-
Allow the area to air dry. Run a vacuum over the carpet to fluff it.
