Money-saving tips are everywhere at the moment, thanks to the current cost of living crisis.
Even the smallest hacks can be good to know in order to save a bit of money here and there. However, one cleaning expert has left people dumbfounded after sharing a money-saving tip when it comes to laundry.
Everyone knows that doing multiple loads of washing can add to your bills, but cleaning queen Aggie Mackenzie insists that we can all get two days' wear out of our underwear, the Mirror reports.
The How Clean Is Your House? presenter says that there's one thing we must do in order to keep underwear clean enough to wear for two days in a row.
"By using panty liners it means that you can keep your pants fresher for much longer, so then you can change your knickers every other day," she told the Sun.
If you still aren't convinced, the same rule apparently applies to bras - depending on how much you sweat.
"As a general rule, washing your bras every three wears will keep them fresh," she advises.
Before putting boxers, thongs, and anything else from the underwear department in the washing machine, Aggie has some more advice to make sure they come out sparkling clean.
Apparently you should hang them out to dry in the sun, as the UV rays are excellent for killing off any bacteria.
During the winter, it can be difficult to hang clothes out to dry, but Aggie argues that there are a couple of solutions that mean you don't have to wash things as regularly - such as using a steamer or an iron to banish smells and kill bacteria.
She also says that children's clothes don't need to be washed as often as adults, as they don't smell as much. The cleaning guru suggests that parents should spot-treat spills and stains rather than chucking them straight in the washing machine.
