Australian mum Chantel Mila shared a clip on TikTok and revealed how to “keep your clothes looking fresh with these easy tips” – and it might mean changing how you wash.
While it might seem straight forward, she stressed the importance of always separating your dark and light washing, as well as delicates and tougher fabrics.
When it comes to zips and buttons you should pay close attention before chucking clothes in the wash.
She suggests making sure zippers are done up while buttons are left open to so they don’t pull and loosen in the process.

White clothes can be washed in hot water but always use cold for colours[/caption]
White garments can do with a hot water cycle while it’s best to use cold water for colours to avoid them fading.
Chantel also suggests choosing a gentle detergent, such as a liquid, rather than powder which can be tougher on clothes.
Her washing secret, however, is a couple of drops of eucalyptus oil which she says rids your clothes of pesky dust mites.
And finally, rather than fabric softener, Chantel says to use white vinegar instead which leaves clothes looking and feeling super fresh for longer.
