My home tips are legendary… here’s my 7p washing trick which means you’ll never need to separate whites from darks again
WHEN you do laundry, do you dedicatedly separate out your whites from your darks each time?
A woman who has racked up over two million followers with her savvy home tips has revealed you never need to spend hours doing this again.
TikTok user Ann Russell, who posts under @annrussell03, uploaded a video revealing her hack, which will only set you back 7p.
She replied to a person who had asked how to wash a black and white top together.
They specifically wanted to know how to prevent the white top getting “dingy” and the “black fading.”
Ann explained: “Anything like that you wash on a cool wash with a colour catcher and that will pick up any migrant black dye.
“Have a look at the colour catcher to see how much dye came out of the black.”
Her video racked up thousands of views and people took to the comments to say how her hack has changed the way they do laundry.
One said: “I’ve never heard of a colour catcher. What a brilliant idea.”
Another added: “Thank you so much for your help.”
You can pick up colour catcher sheets from Tesco, with a pack of 60 from Dylon setting you back £4.50.
This works out at just over 7p per wash – a small price to pay for saving you time separating out your clothes.
Recently, fans of cleaning whizz Mrs Hinch revealed the 30p trick to instantly make your white laundry sparkle again.
Many people recommended using white vinegar in the wash to help bring whites back to life.
One cleaning whizz suggested avoiding softeners and adding white vinegar into the wash instead.
Another person commented: “I use white vinegar to get rid of the grey hue in my husband’s socks, it works instantly and it’s my holy grail for brightening anything.”
White vinegar can be picked up for as little as 29p in some stores, reports the Express.
Add a cap-sized amount of vinegar into the detergent drawer or directly into the drum.The smell of the vinegar will be gone by the time your washing is finished.
