Mbali Nhlapho, the popular housekeeping guru known for her easy home solutions, revealed that the secret to reviving dark fabrics lies in a simple mixture of coffee and salt.
The video was shared on Instagram by @mbalinhlaphoo, where it went viral, gaining thousands of views, likes, and a flood of appreciative comments.
In the clip, Mbali explained that the coffee works to regain the lost pigment while the salt acts as a stabiliser to preserve the colour while pouring undiluted coffee into a bucket of water containing black jeans.
