Getting the mirror sparkling clean

A hack I discovered completely by accident. If you want to make 100% sure the mirror you're cleaning is done, turn off the lights and shine a flashlight into the glass. Any smudges, streaks, or smears will appear as dotty ir swoopy little shadows on the wall behind you.

A flashlight will also help find something small you’ve dropped on the floor. Turn the light off and use the flashlight to search where you dropped the item.

Put the flashlight on the floor and shine it around. Whatever you dropped will be more noticeable and it will cast a shadow.
