Woman shares £1.90 'magic ingredient' to make filthy towels look good as new

There's often no better feeling that slipping into clean sheets at bedtime and the same goes for wrapping yourself in a fresh, fluffy towel after a shower or bath.

This is why it can be disheartening to see your favourite white towels looking stained and grubby and feeling uncomfortable against the skin.

But thankfully if your towels are like this, you don't need to go out and spend a fortune on new ones.

An ironing and laundry expert, who is known as the Ironing Queen on social media, has shared her top tips online and has gone viral as a result.

Minie Eli, who posts under @theironingqueen on TikTok has garnered hundreds of thousands of views after sharing her trick to make white towels look bright white again.

Make 2023 your most productive year yet by using the 'intention' method

In a video, which has been watched over 395,000 times, Minie shows a white towel, covered in an abundance of stains.

She says: "Mascara, foundation stains, eye shadow, blusher, fake tan, you name it, it's on there.

"So I'm going to show you how to get your white towels bright, fresh and fluffy again."

In the clip, she pops the dirty towels in the washing machine, sets it to a cotton wash cycle, adjusting the temperature to 30C.

Minie then adds some bio laundry liquid to the left-hand side of the washing machine drawer as well as a "magic ingredient".

The ingredient is Ecover Laundry Bleach, which can be purchased for just £1.90 from Sainsbury's.

She adds some into the drawer as well and starts the wash.

When it's done, the cleaning guru shares the results, taking towels and cloths out of the washing machine and showing how they now look "beautiful" and "perfect" with no make-up stains in sight.

She adds that you can then tumble dry or air dry your towels depending on your preferences.

People in the comments were quick to praise Minie for sharing the hack, with one person saying: "That's amazing!!! They are so clean!! Thank you for the tip."
