Reckitt's Blue Laundry Bluing (Pack of 10 Tablets)

As an island girl, I watched my mom soak my white clothing in “blue” water as a child growing up. It would renew our clothing and make it look as new. I’m surprised I found it on Amazon. It’s quite expensive but I needed it. Oxi clean doesn’t work for me and I absolutely dislike using bleach on my clothing. I’ve seen complaints but perhaps you aren’t using it correctly. Rub it on your clothes and allow the brick to dissolve in the water. Soak for 45 mins. Then use the same water to wash your clothes. Not everything’s worth putting in a washing machine but if you have to, I’d advise dissolving the brick first, then pour the water into the washer. One brick is enough for a medium load. I haven’t used it as yet but I hope it’s the same quality as 10 years ago.

I used these blocks back home in the Caribbean to whiten my white clothes and my sons school shirts. They worked really good back then so I was quite happy to find them on Amazon. A bit expensive though. Will get my supply when I go back on vacation.

If you make your own laundry soap, you know that the chemicals cause yellowing. This is the answer to that problem. I keep a jar of water that I dissolve laundry blue cube in in my laundry room. Once the washer has filled with water, I pour in enough of the dissloved laundry blue in to slightly die the water in the load. Depending on what I'm washing and how big each load is I can get multiple loads out of a cube. Do not use if you're washing anything yellow. These are great for anything white or any colors with a blue undertone.

I love to use them

Great product. The packaging wasn’t presentable. It was just put in I believe a ziplock or something plastic at home. I don’t like the staining (temporary) in my tub, so I would recommend breaking it up in smaller pieces. It washes out eventually.

1.) place 1 square in a quart jar with a tight fitting screw-on lid2.) fill jar 3/4 full, or 3 cups of hot water3.) place lid on jar securely and shake until fully dissolved4.) pour roughly 1 cup thoroughly dissolved solution into washer5.) let washer fill half way with hot water, swish bluing around in hot water to mix thoroughly6.) add detergent, then load of white laundry into washer7.) run as usual**Can be poured into bleach dispenser if dissolved completely after washer is filled with water**If little bits remain in bottom of jar, leave them there to dissolve more for next time, don't pour them into the washer, to avoid blue speckled stains on towels & white clothes.

The product worked ok. There were no directions in the packet that came so I had to research the internet to find best way to use it. When I did use it, it didn’t get my whites as bright as I had hoped.

They work very fine, just be careful because they are strong so you need only a little bit. If you use too much, it can stain (not permanently) your laundry.
