Most recently, she shared an invaluable tip on how to reduce mildew - and the solution is easier than you might think 

In the clip, which was shared earlier this month, Madame Sweat wasted little time in launching into her advice.

'If you're living in a rental apartment or unit, and this is how they have the towel hooks in your bathroom, maybe you should move - just kidding.

'But you know what, you're gonna have smelly mildew towels when they're hanging that way.

'It creates folds where mildew loves to live.'

She then continued to dish on her 'simple solution' to combat it, revealing: 'It's not pretty but you can hang it over the top of the door - make sure the top of the door is clean.

'Or if you have a glass shower door, hang it over the shower door to make sure that it is spread out, no folds and that it can dry properly.'

The content creator concluded: 'That's gonna be much healthier.' 

Unsurprisingly, her clip was flooded with comments from users thanking her for the advice.

One wrote: 'True. My sons put their towels over the door or the shower, as it takes time to dry... especially in a humid environment. Thank you for ALL that you do!!'

Another praised her 'great points' and a third insisted that they 'always' follow Madame Sweat's tips.

According to Apartment Therapy, homeowners should 'hang towels properly after use. Do not leave them in a damp pile or bunched together. 

'Even if you do hang them separately, make sure they have enough room to breathe, otherwise, they won't dry fully. 

'If you've just taken them out of the dryer, be sure they are completely dry before folding the towels and putting them away.'
