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.

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 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.
