Sometimes it feels like you can only wear a white piece of clothing once, before it gets stained and its colour dulls after just one spin in the washing machine. No matter how hard you try, those whites always end up looking grey.
However, one TikTok trend doing the rounds on social media promises to have your whites looking bright, and the best bit is, it'll only set you back a few pence.
The hack was shared by one user, @burcibaci, who revealed the one simple and cheap item you need to add to your wash to ensure those whites stay white - washing up liquid.

All you need to do is add a small amount of washing up liquid to a small cap, before throwing it in the washer with your white load, although the TikToker recommends you do this in addition to your washing detergent, rather than in its place.
''I would also add your detergent too for the best clean," she wrote alongside the clip, which has since been viewed more than 200,000 times.
Although she used a pale coloured Fairy Liquid, other TikTok users recommended blue soaps as they can be used to cancel out the yellow tones in the white materials.
Many people questioned how the bubbles from the soap didn't overflow, but @burcibaci simply explained that you only have to use a very small amount for it to be effective.
"It also makes a great stain remover! One part dawn dish soap, one part hydrogen peroxide," one helpful TikToker commented. Everyday is a school day.
