And she has a foolproof method for banishing stains that you can use on all whites, not just socks, which will leave your wardrobe looking fresh and clean once more.
In the video's caption, she said: "This method is my go-to to revive dingy white clothes and make them look fresh and bright! You can use it on socks, t-shirts, towels and even linens!
All you need are three staple ingredients, and it's also very simple to do.
First up, fill your bath with hot water and toss in all of your grubby white clothes. Then, pour in a quarter cup of laundry powder to get rid of any grease and grime, followed by one tablespoon of dish soap and one tablespoon of stain remover.
Mila said: "Look at the colour of that water already," and indeed it was tinged with a grey hue from all the debris soaking off.
Then, all you need to do is allow the clothes to soak in the water for one hour, before putting them in the washing machine and cleaning as normal.
Afterwards, Chantel's white socks looked pristine once again, proving that this method was a very effective one.
Viewers were blown away by this hack, with one exclaiming: "Oooh my goodness I needed this!"
