What Is Bluing and How It Can Help in Household Task Improvement
February 12, 2024
Most people coming into this will ask: What is ‘bluing’, anyway? The simple and most common answer is that it’s a compound used to counteract the yellowing of laundered fabric. If you search for the uses of ‘bluing’ anywhere, it’s impossible for ‘laundry’ and ‘whitening’ not to come up in the results. But there’s more to this 100 year-old product than meets the eye. Mrs. Stewart’s Liquid Bluing is not only groundbreaking for its ability to make your white clothes even whiter, but also for its versatility. A few drops in a pitcher of water can go a long way in cleaning and improving the quality of your day to:
1. Brighten Pool Water
Though Mrs. Stewart’s Liquid Bluing can’t substitute other chemicals used to treat your pool water, it works great at making your pool water look better than most. Nothing beats that Pacific blue.
2. Whiten Your Pet’s Hair
When giving your pet a bath, mix a few drops of Mrs. Stewart’s Liquid Bluing in your pet’s rinse water and their fur will return to being white as ever. It’s non-toxic and proven safe for your pets, so don’t worry!
3. Reduce Algae Growth
Do you have a fountain or a bird bath in your backyard? Mrs. Stewart’s Liquid Bluing is perfect for reducing and preventing algae growth, keeping the water clear and clean.
4. Clean Bathroom Tiles
Add a few drops of Mrs. Stewart’s Liquid Bluing into a bucket of soapy water, then pour or sponge it onto your white bathroom tiles. Let it rest for a few minutes before rinsing. You will see a difference immediately.
5. Keep Windows Spot Free
Don’t you just hate foggy glass windows? Water with a few drops of Mrs. Stewart’s Liquid Bluing will do the job in keeping your windows sparkling for a long time.

If the idea of selling your house, and keeping it clean while selling, is on your mind, this blog post is for you! Most sellers have a way of life. Think: having a pile of dirty laundry by the shower (where you remove your clothes), or the pile of makeup on the bathroom counter for getting ready in the morning. The idea of listing your home for sale gets you to thinking “How will I keep it clean and organized, show ready” on a day-to-day basis. Obstacles like late night work session’s, children’s play rooms, making beds in the mornings when there is already little time. You may have already spent weekends prepping your home. Painting. Organizing. Your limbs may be drooping from getting all of the prep work done. You expect a buyer to walk in and immediately put a contract to purchase and your life can get back to normal. Not quite. In many markets the industry average for a home priced right, and in good condition should sell within 160 days of being on the market. In easy terms, that could be five months or longer. In the beginning of the process you are enthusiastic! Exuberant! You know each day the right person may walk through that door! As the first month passes your diligence is waning. Keeping the house clean, fresh smelling, and organized is a big job. Let’s look at some ways to easily keep things from piling up, or the process of picking up after all the members of the family easy.
