One thing about us? Our to-do list is never, ever complete. Whether it's the school drop, cooking, cleaning, making moves at work, taking off our make-up, texting our friends back or attempting to get eight hours of sleep (ha!) we are forever on the go.

On the odd occasion, we do get a chance to scroll on our phones and inevitably fall down a cleaning TikTok hole (otherwise known as #CleanTok), we still have no idea how to wash our clothes without shrinking or calling our own mum asking, "It'll be alright on a 30-degree wash, won't it?"

Well, thanks to the Apple update, life just got a little bit easier for anyone facing with a large basket of laundry.

Using the Apple ‘Visual Look Up’ feature, iPhone and iPad* you can now identify exactly what care their item of clothing requires, by capturing the laundry label using your camera..

It really is as simple as that. Whether you need to know how to iron an item, or what not to do to keep your linen shirt looking fresh, your Apple device can tell you exactly that with a click of a button (or two).

Taking to TikTok, many have shared their discovery of this game-changing hack, which breaks down the washing instructions for how to wash your clothes.

@wtaleisa shared in a TikTok video “All you need to do is take a picture of your clothes and your iPhone tells you exactly how to wash and care for those clothes, without having to download an app, that’s insane”

Brb, we need to try this immediately.

*It's important to note that you need iOS 15 and iOS 15.1 or later to use Visual Look Up on your Apple device and to identify laundry tags you'll need iOS 17
