And the best part? The hacks are totally free.
Mrs Hinch‘s army of cleaning fans have dedicated social media pages to share their own cleaning tips.
In one such group, a woman asked for help to keep her lack jeans black.
She wrote: “Best way to wash black jeans so they don’t fade?”
And cleaning fans quickly took to the comments happy to share their tips.
Many people agreed that the best way to keep the colour from fading quickly was to wash them in a cold cycle inside out.
While others claimed there was a secret ingredient to add to the drum of your washing machine to stop the colour from running.
One person wrote: “Wash inside out with dark colours, and dry naturally. Don’t put in the tumble dryer as that’s what takes the colour out.”
Another recommended: “Inside out and hang on the line to dry like that too.”
“Inside out on a 20 wash,” a third agreed.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Inside out, 30/40 degrees, DO NOT TUMBLE DRY. Once washed, shake into shape, (no creases) dry inside out on radiator or hang on line (inside out)! Good luck.”
Others revealed that adding salt to the drum of the washing machine can help the dye stick to the denim rather than fading.
One person suggested: “Put a tea spoon of salt in and wash cold.”
A second commented: “Inside out with salt added to the water. Salt supposedly sets the dye so the don’t fade as badly later washes.”
“Table spoon of salt stops the the fabric bleeding, put it direct into drum,” added another.
Luckily, both hacks are free no matter which one you try as we know you have a tub of salt lying around in the kitchen cupboard somewhere.
