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'.
Julia's clip has been seen more than 600,000 times and has left viewers impressed. The time in question is a simple bar of soap, writes the Mirror.
In a video posted to her @_boringbb_ 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."
Bars of soap vary in price, but you can pick up Palmolive bars for £1 from Asda, while the supermarket also stocks a four-pack of Imperial Leather bars for £2, making each bar just 50p. Scented soaps, such as ones with lavender fragrance, start at £2.30 per bar from Asda and Tesco.
Commenters were quick to respond to the hack, with many saying that they wanted to give the trick a try while some added some extra advantages of leaving soap in your drawers.
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!"
