Glass on clothes

Have I done the right thing? I suffer very badly from anxiety so am worried. Mental health is appalling atm

One of the doors in my house had a glass panel. My teenage daughter and her friend were messing about with the door. Glass panel in the door broke while they were standing either side of it. Big hole in glass, big chunks of glass everywhere (glass quite thick) but also shards around the place including shards over the girls/on their clothes (luckily not hurt)

My daughter is very attached to her clothes - was wearing favourite hoodie and jeans and a t shirt she designed herself

Got the girls to go outside with a lint roller to pick up what they could see. Before washing my daughter’s clothes, I went over everything with a small paint roller wrapped in sellotape - normal am way out and inside out. Took me hours

Then I shook them and hoovered over them with my hoover nozzle best I could (though am worried as I used same hoover nozzle when vacuuming glass off floor.

Then I washed them in the machine

Really worried I’ve done the wrong thing - both with using the vacuum to hoover up smaller bits of glass in the first place and also putting the clothes in the washing machine.

Have I messed up? Scared clothes dangerous to wear/I’ve contaminated the washing machine/vacuum cleaner

all sounds fine to me. Just be careful when cleaning out the washing machine filters and the vacuum bag/filter.

Did the fateful think of googling to see if I’d done the right thing but couldn’t find anything other than stuff saying how dangerous broken glass is and never vacuum broken glass or you’ll break machine...

Thank you for replying by the way - sorry - forgot to say that as I’d got myself so anxious!
