A little cleaning tip

Yesterday morning, as I was putting in my contacts, I noticed that I had quite a bit of makeup smudges decorating the sink in our bathroom. I made a mental note that I should go find some cleaner to get them off. I then started to wonder if it would take more than just a Clorox cleaning wipe. I might need to grab the box of baking soda out of the kitchen.

On a whim, I decided to see what would happen if I just used some of the soap that was sitting a few inches from the sink itself. It worked. It makes sense that the same soap that cleans dirt off my hands would clean makeup splatters out of the sink. I just swished some soap bubbles over the smudged area and rinsed it off. It took all of ten seconds, far less time that it would've taken me to go grab a bottle of cleaner.
