This is a common problem when it comes to washing clothes - how do you get rid of stains from white socks?
Now, some cleaning experts have suggested a simple solution. The advice came after one person posted a message on a Mrs Hinch cleaning tips Facebook group, asking how to remove nasty dirt stains from white socks. A number of people in the group then revealed you could do this by using one ingredient.
A mum asked: "We were away at Christmas and my boys' white socks (about 12 pairs) have come back filthy. How can I make the soles white again without affecting the coloured parts at the top? Many thanks."

It did not take long for people to offer their guidance, reports The Mirror. One person wrote: "Quick normal wash to get the heavy stuff off (either by hand washing or in your washing machine).
"Then soak for 24 hours in Napisan. It’s brilliant stuff (found in the baby aisle of the supermarket)."
They were not the only person to recommend Napisan, which is a product used mostly to remove stains. Another person wrote: "Soak in Napisan then wash as normal with Napisan again." And a third added: "Napisan or wonder soap rub it in and soak."
Others suggested some different products. One stated: "Spray with elbow grease, leave for 10mins. Put in wash add dish washer tablets."
Someone else suggested Napisan may not be the best to use with white socks with logos on them. They said: "Vanish soak for colour I think Napisan might take colour out."
