Color Switch $1 Dupe and its Other Uses

A couple weeks ago or so I saw a video of Graveyardgirl/Bunny from Youtube and she was testing to see if the color switch worked. For those who aren't familiar with what a color switch is, it is basically a tin can and inside is a spongelike material that you can wipe your makeup brush into so it will be clean enough to use on different colors letting you use less brushes.  

It did work but to me the concept seemed too simple and I was sure there is a dupe out there somewhere so I did my research and found a couple which are the microfiber cloth and the hair donut both can be purchased at the dollar store.

The hair donut fits in a container like the tin can used for the color switch so does the cloth if stuffed/folded in the tin. To me, it didn't matter as long as it did it's job and the cloth was the better option since you can see where you wiped it off on and can use alcohol with it to sanitize the brushes after a day of use to be able to spot clean it before the weekly deep cleaning!

Another great plus, after washing the cloth it dries in just hours (mine took about 3-4) of being hung even though there is no heat and indoors!  I was surprised since even just trying to clean a spot on a shirt can already take a while without blow drying of some sort. 

There are many uses for a microfiber cloth including it's main purpose which is to clean lol.  I dampened the cloth a bit and did a dabbing and slight rubbing on a shirt that i accidentally had eye shadow on and it worked wonders!  Do you have other uses for a microfiber cloth? Please don't hesitate to share! Below is a video demonstrating how it's used for the spot cleaning purposes!
