Why Bluing?
You may have seen a little blue bottle on the laundry aisle and wondered what is was for and if anyone ever buys it… Mrs. Stewart’s Bluing.
Bluing?
Well, the truth is that people DO buy it and there are a ton of things you can do with it. It comes under the title of “Good Stuff to Have”
First of all, bluing is environmentally friendly, totally safe, and hypoallergenic. The worst thing about it is it can cause blue spots if you splash it on something accidentally.
Traditionally it is used to whiten and brighten laundry. It will not bleach your clothes, or cause colors to fade but it will make the colors more vivid and the whites “whiter”. Just add about 1/4 teaspoon to a quart of water and add it to the final rinse of your laundry.
But there are a ton of other uses for it.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon to a gallon of warm water to rinse your crystal. It will keep it sparkly.
- Add a few drops of bluing to a few drops of water and you have blue ink.
- Use a few drops in a quart of warm water as a final rinse for white hair…It takes the yellow out.
- Use on fire ant bites for immediate relief..other bites too.
- Add it to bird baths and fountains to reduce algae buildup. (It is not toxic to birds or fish)
- You can make crystal formations with it. The directions are on the back of the box.
Bluing is one of those things that our grandmothers (and great grandmothers) used that has lost popularity. It is inexpensive and eco-friendly… two perfect reasons to buy it!

I can’t swear to it but I think the shampoo for white dogs I use on the white parts of my black and white dog has bluing in it. The shampoo is blue and the white parts of the dog always gleam after a bath.

WOW I never saw it before, but did hear of Bluing but didn’t know what it was. There is so much that the older generations used that is economical and ecofriendly and this is one example of it. Thanks for the info I will keep an eye out for it.

But, inquiring minds want to know, ok maybe only MY inquiring mind wants to know, what exactly IS it? I get what it does - very cool and something I can use with our hard water - just not how it does what it does. (I totally get how bleach works for instance. . . ) ;)

Never heard of this, how does it whiten in the laundry but if you spill it on something it turns it blue?
Marye Audet
Oct 16, 2008 at 8:53 am
Tracy-
the color white actually has several tints..there can be whites that are more yellow and whites that are more blue..the blue whites are the sparkling whites.
Bluing adds molecules of blue to white to make it look intensely white..your eye does not pick up the blue it just sees a brighter white.

5. Add it to bird baths and fountains to reduce algae buildup. (It is not toxic to birds or fish)
This is a deal seller for me. I have a beautiful birdbath in my backyard that I have to get out the chemicals and Mr. Clean Eraser and lots of elbow grease to clean. I am definitely trying this!!!

We use to use this when we gave our Dalmation baths. The white part of her coat was really white!

wow, I can remember my mom using blueing with the old wringer washer. I knew that it was good for making whites whiter, but I had no clue about the other uses. Thanks!!

We used to use a bluing shampoo on our Maltese dogs to make them look whiter. I’ve never seen this product before so I just may have to seek it out! Thanks for sharing the info!

I’ve never used it, but my mother use to use it to whiten her white clothes. I would like to try it on crystal, that’s a great idea. Thanks!

[…] Simply Home Remedies gives a run-down of Mrs. Stewarts Bluing, which can be used all around the house and is non-toxic and eco-friendly. I bought a bottle of this about 5 months ago and I haven’t been quite sure what to do with it. I think I’ll finally try it now. […]
