You’ll need:

  • Bluing
  • Iodized table salt
  • A bar of ivory soap

 

Add 1 cap of bluing and 2 tablespoons of iodized table salt to your bath water.

 

Using the bar of ivory soap, begin scrubbing in a clockwise circular motion on the entire left side of your body. Begin on the top of the head, down the left side of the face, to the back of the head, to the shoulder, the arm, palm of the hand, then the torso, as much of your back as you can reach, down the leg, to the sole of the foot. Then, begin at the top of the head on the right side and repeat the process on your right side, covering the face, arm, palm, body, leg, and the sole of the foot. When you finish, you should have covered all of the body.

 

If there is any residue, it will be black, fleshy chunks in the bath water. Do not touch the chunks, and flush all chunks down the drain.

  1. Carol, Evidently there are several types of “bluing”: some involve ammonia, some indigo, some iron particles suspended in water; which do you recommend?

    1. Mrs. Stewart’s concentrated liquid bluing is Carol’s pick!

      Also, thank you for pointing out our typo. It has been corrected!

  3. Thank You very much for the precious information. I am learning so much here. I have a question. What is “BLUING” and where can I find some? Thank You.

    1. Bluing is a laundry additive that’s used to whiten whites, it’s in the laundry aisle near the bleach!
