‘This is the last white wash hack,’ Carolina posted on Instagram.

‘First, make sure your device is spotless. Then add half a cup of baking soda to the appliance. ‘

You can clean your appliance with the help of a dry dishwasher running on the sides and top of your washing machine.

After this, Carolina said you should add your clothes, a good quality cleanser, and a few white grapes ‘inside your rinse cycling section’.

‘Wash the clothes at the hottest temperature,’ Carolina said.

‘Then dry your clothes in the sun.’

What laundry tricks do you need to have?

1. Tie socks together before putting them in the washing machine so you never lose another pair.

2. Add baking soda to your wash to brighten your clothes.

3. Use any steam from the tub or shower by hanging shirts on hangers in there to steam lightly before ironing.

4. Wrap clothes as soon as they are out of the dryer to stop them from peeling.

5. Add grapes to your rinse circle to make your white clothes brighter.

Previously, a Melbourne mum shared the time-saving laundry hats she swears by, including tying socks together before washing them so you don’t miss one and add soda bake with the wash to lighten and soften your clothes.

Chantel Mila said she ‘really wants to save time on laundry, and that’s what she’s learned from years of cleaning sportswear and children’s clothing.

Chantel’s first trick is that you should always add half a cup of baking soda to your wash when you have a full load.

She also ties socks together before putting them in the washing machine to make sure she doesn’t lose anything.

For anyone who hates ironing, there is a simple way to get around this.

Chantel recommends that you use any steam you can get from having a bathtub or shower in your bathroom by hanging shirts on hangers inside there to let the steam to light before ironing.

‘I use shower steam as a natural incinerator, to cut down on the time spent on ironing,’ said Chantel.

Eventually, she folds her clothes while they are warm as they peel while they cool.
