Whiten Your Whites

Mrs. Stewart's Bluing

Mrs. Stewart's Bluing

Barbara Whiting

Okay, take your whites and soak them in hot water, with Clorox 2 in the powder form and Oxiclean (you can probably use just one of these, I added Oxiclean to my Grandma's recipe, she is the queen of stain removal), I let mine soak for 3 to 4 hours. Then I drain the water and wash as I normally do, in the rinse cycle, add some Mrs. Stewart's Bluing according to the directions on the bottle (this is with the laundry supplies; see picture). Your whites should look brand new. - Submitted by Honey
