Here you go . . .
ACE STAIN REMOVER: Drop in at Poundland to find the Ace Floral Bouquet Laundry Bleach White stain remover for £2.
It's a favourite for yellowing socks and grey T-shirts.
Just add a capful to your washing machine to make stains disappear.
PIT STOP: For those stubborn armpit stains, make up a paste of baking soda and water and use a soft brush or toothbrush to gently rub into the fabric pre-wash.
Then put on your usual whites, wash and those marks should all disappear.
LACE RACE: Grubby shoelaces? Soak them in a bowl of warm water with two tablespoons of Dri-Pak soda crystals, £2 at Tesco, and give it a good stir.
Leave overnight and by the morning the dirt and grime should lift right out.
You can also try this on any white caps you may have.
LEMON LIFT: Brighten white towels by adding half a mug of lemon juice to your usual washing machine rinse cycle.
Cleaning whizz shares two-second 13p trick to get all the pet hair out of your laundry in seconds
The natural acid in the lemon will help remove soap residue that builds up and causes greying.
VINEGAR VOLLEY: Distilled white vinegar whitens, removes musty smells and helps soften fabric as, like lemon, it gets rid of soapy residue.
For brighter bedding, add 100ml to your fabric- softener drawer when washing.
It's also a great household cleaner, so pick it up in bulk at Amazon.co.uk at £5.99 for five litres.
SHINE ON: For white school-uniform items such as shirts, mix up a tablespoon each of baking soda, vinegar and lemon juice, then add to a spray bottle with some warm water.
Give the clothes a spritz pre-wash before washing on your usual cycle.
Then hang them outside in direct sunlight, where UV rays can naturally bleach away any stains.

Mary Fowler makes a stunning confession about how close she came to quitting soccer altogether
Matildas and Manchester City star Mary Fowler has revealed how close she came to walking away from football after intense pressure as a teenager made her fall out of love with the game. Fowler, 22, who debuted for the Australian national team at just 15 years of age, said if she hadn't found success so early on in life she might have 'done something else'. 'Football at times wasn't the most enjoyable experience to me because I was just so immersed in it,' she said in an interview series with the Commonwealth Bank. 'If a game didn't go well or if I missed a shot on goal that I should have scored, it was the biggest deal. 'Like, oh, you don't deserve your opportunities or you're a bad person. 'I think if I hadn't gone to the national team that soon, maybe I would have done something else.' Currently recovering from an ACL injury in England, Fowler also spoke about her recovery process. 'I have recently made a conscious effort to think that I don't have like a bad knee that needs to be fixed, but I'm getting an upgrade and I'm getting an even better knee,' she said. 'I have heard that a lot of girls when they come back … it can be up to a year to feel like probably normal again. 'I feel like 90 per cent of that is going to be a mental block and so it's something that I've thought about and been like, why don't I just start changing how I think about it now already?' Earlier this month, Fowler revealed her long-term plans with NRL beau Nathan Cleary - and they include babies, adoption, and a life surrounded by animals on a rural property. Despite being more than 17,000km away from home - and with no plans to play in Australia again 'any time soon, if ever' - Fowler says she's already looking ahead to a quieter life with the Penrith Panthers halfback. 'I really want to have a big family,' she told the Keegan and Company podcast. 'The only dream I have at the moment is to be a mum and have heaps of kids and be in a space where they can play outside a lot.' The Matildas forward has revealed her long-term plans with Nathan Cleary (pictured together) - and they include babies, adoption, and a life surrounded by animals on a rural property Not content with just a picket fence and a swing set, she is thinking big - envisioning a home where her future children can get their hands dirty in the veggie patch, feed farm animals, and 'run wild in the mud.' 'If I had the set-up for that, it would be a dream,' she added. Fowler - who hails from Cairns and is sister to siblings Caoimhin, Seamus, Ciara and Louise - said she sees a similar-sized family in her own future. 'I would love to have two or three kids of my own and then adopt,' she revealed.

A day in the life of a tennis star at Wimbledon: Brit DAN EVANS reveals all... from sushi to taped feet
Let's start with where I'm staying. One of the things that makes this fortnight unique is that most players, certainly Brits and big names, tend to rent apartments or houses in Wimbledon Village rather than stay in hotels. There's a website where people rent out their homes for the tournament - every year there's a dash for the best places! The top boys will get a big house for their whole team and tend to stay in the same place each year. We've got a nice place, just me and my wife Aleah, and it's just a walk across the common to the All England Club.
