Bluing

[Guest guest]

I was shopping yesterday so I checked the shelves...sure enough they still

sell Mrs. 's Bluing that I remember my Mom using when I was a kid.

They even have a web site:

Here is an excerpt from " What's in that stuff anyway? " :

" Basically, bluing is made of a very fine blue iron powder suspended in

water ( a " colloidal suspension " ). We add a non-toxic amount of a pH

balancer and a biocide to prevent the build-up of algae and bacteria. (This

may be why Mrs. 's Bluing is loved by farmers who tell us they use

it in the water troughs of their farm animals and by owners of lily and

fish ponds.) "

Warmly,

I just got some bottles of bluing and I think it is turning out to be very

useful.

I do have some questions.

First off I am using glasses that were my deceased brothers.

mine broke and with the foamy stuff still in my eyelashes I need to wait to buy

a new pair.

So when I read small print like a label I have to use a magnifier.

I decided to put some in my

hair. My grandmover had white hair and when she dre ssed up she had the bluing

added to her white hair. So I put some in my hair. I could not read the

label so I j ust poured the bottle over my hair like it was shampoo, then I

started rubbing it on my skin. Well I have short hair but it took over two

hours to get the bluing out of my hair. I have went around wipping everything

with it. I even put some on our hew hardwood floors and if it didn't get to

dry it make the floor shine. I can see that it rubs in and you don't see blue,

if you wipe immediately.

Thanks to the person that posted about it.
