The “brilliant” tip quickly captivated followers, who were enthusiastic and grateful for the invaluable advice.

“You’re so clever! Thank you,” one commented.

“I love watching all of your tips.”

“Brilliant,” commented another.

“I save all you ideas and hacks, they are so helpful… thank you.”

Birges’ clever trick for ridding your clothes of unsightly stains comes after style guru Donny Galella recently took social media by storm with his own revolutionary hack for banishing stubborn stains from white clothes.

In a TikTok video, Galella, known for his fashion and style expertise, demonstrated how everyday household items can work wonders on those persistent makeup stains that often plague our favourite white shirts and blouses.

Galella begins the video by announcing, “If you want to remove incredibly stubborn makeup stains from white shirts or blouses, look no further than your dishwashing liquid.”

The first step involves generously applying dishwashing soap to the stained area. With enthusiasm, Galella instructs viewers, “Put a really good squirt on the stain and (using) lots of elbow grease, really work it into the fibres of the shirt, really massage it into the collar of the shirt, and you’ll see the stain lift right away.”

Next, he introduces fragrance-free baby wipes to further tackle the stubborn marks.

“I continue just to wipe the collar to collect the fibres of the shirt,” he said.

“Then I put them into the washing machine with a warm cycle.”

The results, according to Galella, are nothing short of astonishing.

“When they came out, I was pretty amazed with the results,” Galella said.

“They were pretty much almost as good as my mum’s washing.”
