Re # 1:
A/ Never put broken glassware into the basin to be washed.

B/ Never put more than one piece of glassware into the basin to be washed. 
Wash it as soon as it is immersed. Remove it after it has been washed.

Re # 2:
Glassware that is chipped. cracked, or fractured, etc. has reached the end 
of its usefulness and should be discarded.
