Mrs Hinch fans have shared a cheap but effective method for getting the damp smell out of clothes.
The top tip was shared after a "stressing" mum sought advice because her daughter's school blazer always "smells damp", even straight out of the washing machine. The mum explained that she had tried everything from washing the blazer on its own, popping scent boosters in the drum, and Zoflora.
But after having no luck she turned to members of a Mrs Hinch Facebook group for help. And they responded with a top tip that will only set you back around 80p, the Mirror reports.

Detailing her "stinky" blazer plight in the group, the fed-up mum wrote: "It's literally as it comes out of the washing machine. It’s still warm. But it smells so damp. It's horrid. Stressing me, as I don’t want her to go to school stinking of damp washing."
One fellow group user suggested: "I would recommend using soda crystals to clean the washer. I've found when the clothes come out smelling damp I used soda crystals in an empty drum to clean the washer. And my kid's uniform and clothes come out freshly clean (ie put soda crystals in an empty drum and wash as normal".
Another recommended: "I use soda crystals to clean the washing machine once a month when clothes start to smell damp after washing."
A number of others also swore by soda crystals, which you can pick up from Sainsbury's for just 80p for a 1kg bag.
Thanking people for their words of wisdom, the mum wrote: "Washing it on a synthetic wash and tumble drying (again on synthetic). No fabric softener, just a drop of Zoflora.
"With each wash, it smells less and less. Thank you, everyone! Although I must say… these blazers are terrible. Why make them so hard to wash. They're sweaty stinky teens."
