Question: For some reason my question ([How do I make my bathroom sink easier to clean](https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/25041/how-do-i-make-my-bathroom-sink-easier-to-clean)) was closed with nothing more than a sarcastic remark from one of the closers. So allow me to offer a defense up front: Under "We welcome these topics" in the FAQ, it says "Which tools and materials to use for a specific task."

Why was this question closed?  

How can I improve the question so it can be reopened?

Answer: 
I would vote to reopen. The question is about how to modify furniture, and we talk about surface treatments a lot--stain, paint, sanding, etc.
The "task" in this case is not a home improvement task, its a cleaning task. Glossy or matte, all surfaces need to be cleaned, and even high-gloss surfaces like glass can be difficult to clean after enough gunk has built up. The original question did not mention the surface type or what type of cleaning solutions were being used - if you use just water, any surface will be difficult to clean.

While the comment I left might have been sarcastic, there was some truth to it - surfaces are easier to clean if you clean then more frequently.
