Cleaning fan shares how to get your whites sparking again with just one product

WE ALL hate it when our favourite white top or bedding just doesn't look as fresh anymore and it can feel impossible to make them look good as new again.

But thanks to TikTok and the never-ending supply of cleaning tips, one hack promises to get your whites sparkling again.

TikTok user Kate shared the hack on her account, my_plastic_free_home which has gone viral with over 80k views.

Kate often shares eco-friendly hacks that work on her account and this laundry one is no different.

She says you only need this one product, sodium percarbonate, or as Kate likes to call it 'natural bleach' to keep her whites bright.

Sodium percarbonate is slightly different to sodium bicarbonate as it contains hydrogen peroxide, a natural bleaching agent.

Kate first chucks her dirty whites into a sink and adds 60 grams of Sodium percarbonate.

She then pours over five litres of boiling hot water and allows them to soak for a few hours before rinsing them on a rinse cycle in the washing machine.

Kate also says you can add 30 grams of sodium percarbonate into your white laundry cycle for a quicker result.

For the best results, Kate recommends dying them out in the sun.

She also said it can be used for a variety of things around the house such as limescale removing, toilet cleaner, stain removal from cups and tough burnt pans.

Many users loved Kate's hack and the fact it was more eco-friendly than purchasing stain remover, one wrote: "Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to be eco-friendly but it can be hard with chronic illnesses, so this is perfect."

"This is truly the best! My mums used it for years and it saved my children’s clothes." Another user commented.

A third user joked: "I will be ordering some of this - thanks! Can I ask what you do when you don’t have sunlight readily available? Asking from Manchester."
