A woman has shared a hack that may help you keep your clothes smelling fresh for years - and maybe even decades.
The TikTok user, named Julia, shared a trick her grandmother taught, claiming it can keep your clothes fresh for '15 to 20 years'.
She posted a video to TikTok in which she shared a game-changing hack - and all you need to make it work is a bar of scented soap.
In a video posted to her TikTok account, Julia said: "Did anyone else rip out those magazine fragrance testers and shove them in your drawers to keep your clothes smelling nice? I did up until a few months ago.

"I was over at my grandma's house and she pulls out this bar of soap [from her drawer] and I was like, 'Why do you have that in there?' and she said 'Oh honey, you didn't know that's how you keep your clothes smelling nice?'
"Apparently, if you take a nice, neutral, wrapped bar of soap (this one is lavender but you can use cotton or whatever), it'll last 15 to 20 years.
"I had no idea, but I tried it out for a few months and it's amazing. My clothes smell amazing. Definitely give it a go."
You simply leave the wrapped bar of soap in the drawer with your clothes and it leaves them smelling fresh.
Bars of soap vary in price, but you can pick up a four-pack of Palmolive soap bars for €2 from Tesco, making each bar just 50c.
Meanwhile, a four-pack of Dove soap costs €3.15 in Supervalu, working out at less than 80c per bar.
Julia's clip has been seen more than 600,000 times and has left viewers impressed.
Commenters on the post praised Julia for sharing the trick, although some pointed out that the soap tip works best if it's in a paper wrapper, as you won't be able to smell the scent as strongly through a box or plastic wrapping.
One person said: "I have been influenced! Definitely going to give this a try."
While another added: "This also prevents moths! Make a small rip in the packaging. Plastic packaging prevents the smell from going out."
And a third wrote: "This is such a cool idea!"
