WTH the rising cost of living, loads of everyday items are going up in price, including laundry detergent.

Especially with kids off school, they can go through more than one outfit a day, making keeping clothes clean even more epensive.

According to the queen of clean, Lynsey Crombie, there's a cheap and easy solution.

She appeared on This Morning, revealing her 5p laundry trick that could save you loads of money.

She explained:  “If you run out of laundry liquid detergent, grate some soap and pour it into a spray bottle, shake it, let it sit for an hour and then you can use it as a laundry liquid detergent. 

"It’s going to cost you peanuts because this bar of soap was only 15p from Tesco.

“You need to let this sit for at least an hour to let the water absorb the soap.”

For this homemade solution 150ml water and 20ml of grated soap is needed."

She continued: “So you’ve probably got a laundry detergent product that’s costs you 5p to make and do you know what, it works and it works well.

“You can leave it in your cupboard for up to three months and it’s still going to be effective, so it’s a really good one.”

And to give your laundry an extra boost without forking out for expensive products, the pro recommended using baking soda and white vinegar.

"You can use bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar in your laundry as a laundry booster so it saves you buying those expensive boosting products," she shared.

The mixture also wont leave residue or build-up on your clothes, like fabric softener often can.

Here are some tips to help you clean your home like a pro:
