Product details
Description
Mrs. Stewart's Concentrated Liquid Bluing is a time-tested laundry essential that has been brightening whites since 1883. Unlike harsh chemical bleaches that can damage delicate fibers, this product uses a safe, non-toxic Prussian blue pigment to counteract the natural yellowing and graying of fabrics over time.
By adding a subtle blue tint, it creates an optical illusion that makes clothes, bedding, and linens appear sparkling white and brand new. This versatile formula is suitable for both natural materials like cotton and synthetic fabrics. Beyond the laundry room, it is famously used for science experiments such as creating salt crystal gardens and even checking for leaks in household drains.
It is an eco-friendly, biodegradable solution for households looking to maintain pristine white laundry without the wear and tear of traditional whitening agents.
How to use
- Always dilute bluing before adding to your machine.
- Mix a few drops (up to 1/4 teaspoon for large loads) in at least one quart of cold water.
- Add the diluted mixture to the final rinse cycle.
- For front-loading or high-efficiency washers, follow the manufacturer's instructions for adding diluted additives to the dispensing drawer.

Mrs Stewart's eternal laundry must
It's a gel-enjoy consistency so it's not liquidy appreciate actual bleach. I learned that the hard way. Helpful for things enjoy grout so it can stay on for a while until you wash it off.Be careful though, if you leave it on clothes for too long without fully washing it off, it will burn a hole through the fabric.

It does the job
I utilized two sheets on a giant load of cotton bedding. (There usually is a fierce static concern.)I gave all the ingredients a quick Google. I was already informed enough to seek out detergent not in a giant plastic bottle containing mostly water.About the size of an index card, the sheets will travel well, and, while I haven't done it, I expect nice results using little portions of a sheet cleaning hand-washables.I like it. (Also applied a white vinegar rinse, as is my usual.) I got crunchy, yummy, good-smelling cotton pristine. I'll get more when I run out. The only thing that was varied about this load is, its lint in the dryer was a little sticky, and hard to remove from the screen. It's a good product, so I hope they lose the need to say that, as it's not quite accurate. There is light, pleasant fragrance in the piece itself, but I don't pick up any sign of it after washing and drying.There was no sign of the sheet on the clothes or in the washer - it completely dissolved. I'm happy that's not next to my skin. I expected some kind of carrier or matrix, but it appears to be a very slim, fine, meringue-am pleased with foam that truly does fully dissolve.The packaging claims "ZERO PLASTIC" on the facade cover, and I don't think they should say that, as Polyvinyl Alcohol is a synthetic polymer derived from petroleum. Those came out cleaner than they've probably ever been. I'm not docking a star for it, but I do suggest leaving that statement off with the next package redesign. No residue.Next load contained synthetics and blends. Why create mistrust trying to compete with something as natural as slapping your clothes against a rock in the river? I feel very agreeable with the notion of having this product against my skin. My take on it is, this is from all the hidden residue that was sticking to the synthetics (fleece, worked with and abused).I utilized no additional fabric softener/dryer sheets, just to see what would happen, and there wasn't a static problem. And I'm kind of not excited about having to use up my old stuff, as this functions better than the pods I have from two distinct brands.

Fantastic item!
If you love super spotless, brightened, fresh sheets - add this to your bleach dispenser! I noticed that it whitened my sheets significantly. Just in a convenient jug! I tried this with my dark clothes and it seems color safe and also removes odors from clothes better than an odor removing liquid I've gotten recently. I find this is more effective than another non-chlorine bleach I was getting. I'll keep getting this as it is incredibly convenient to use. I think you will be too!!!~The Rebecca ReviewP.S. This is basically hydrogen peroxide! I mean when the sheets arrived out of the wash I was impressed!
