LET'S face it, keeping on top of the laundry is an arduous and time-consuming chore that many of us dread.
But what if there was a super simple and cheap cleaning trick that reduces the amount of washing – and saves hundreds on visits to the dry cleaners?
Well, according to personal stylist Christie Moeller, there is…and it's all thanks to the genius way she keeps clothes smelling fresh without washing them.
In a clip shared to TikTok (@christiemoeller), she begins: "Did you know your clothes will actually last longer if you don't wash them after every wear?
"And you can wear dry clean only clothes three or four times before they need to go to the cleaners on set?"
The personal stylist continues: "Sometimes, actors have to wear the same clothes multiple days in a row, and there's no time to clean them in between."
