I remember my Mom and Grandma (here in Boston, Massachusetts, and Digby Nova Scotia), using 'Stewart's Blueing' in the last cleanest rinse of a whites load of laundry. Had forgotten all about it. I used to think (as a know-it-all teenager) that it was only an optical illusion and 'cheating' to use it, (like 'Kitchen Bouquet' or 'Gravy Master' in your gravy!), and that proper sorting and bleach would take take care of it all. It used to come in a flat, glass bottle with an aluminum cap that had a little hole in it, through which you shook out the drops you needed into the filled up rinse water part of the wash cycle. I almost kept the last bottle she had, wish I had, they went to plastic bottles after that (late 1960s-early 1970s?). nowhere near as beautiful.
Underarms become stained yellow from the sweat there, (sodium chloride in sweat?)when bleached repeatedly and the inside edge of neckbands ALWAYS need scrubbing with Fels Naphtha soap, or your own simple homemade soap.
We also used to use it on a chunk of asphalt to grow neat 'crystals' too. (I think the instructions for that are still on the bottles) fun projects for kids from everyday stuff at hand at home.
Thanks for the updated old-fashioned lessons on proper washing techniques. My grandma would have loved you, she was an amazing laundress.!
I liked and subscribed immediately- great video and well done teaching, speaking and simple quiet music, (not to mention excellent knowledge of older effective ways to get things done beautifully)
Dear Rajiv,
You’re a 🍑. Thanks for your 🕰️.
Sincerely yours,
Dennis
You're such an inspiration Rajiv! Thank you for your incredibly informative and beautiful videos. You treat everything like it is sacred...It's like you took the Marie Kondo approach and took it a step further by infusing the things you already have with even MORE joy! Thank you for the effort you put into your content.
ОтветитьWhat a sweetheart you are. Made of class, of the best sort. Lovely “digs” you have. Thank you.
ОтветитьI just ordered Mrs Stewarts blueing wash.
Love your videos. They are beautiful,calming and informative.
You would make an amazing husband.
OMGEEE 😱 Rajiv is the Indian math geek from Mean Girls 🤩😂 i knew i remembered you from somewhere😄
ОтветитьGreat video, a lost art and so useful- I remember three elderly maiden aunts who lived into their late 90’s- they used bluing and also put some lemon juice onto stains and laid the clothes out on the privet hedge in the sun all day. You are right, whites no longer look white, going to do this. Many thanks
ОтветитьSmother them with Fair and Lovely....... Yaa
ОтветитьYou’re amazing thank you for your wisdom
ОтветитьMy grandmother used this. I still do. You’re amazing!
ОтветитьWonderful video.
Bluing is also a wonderful way to keep white markings on horses stunningly white!
Your "barn friends" will beg you for your secret, if they don't already know.
😂
Yes, thank you. I need to do laundry today so this will come in handy. Now teach me to write in a cursive like yours
ОтветитьOhmygoodness! I never realized where the old blue-haired ladies got their hair - haha! mystery solved.
Rajiv is the best, he is my guru, listening and learning or not learning, his ways and his voice are my meditation.
My philosophy on red clothes. Red goes in its own pile unless your darks are all black. Just saying …
ОтветитьThis was so informative & helpful, Thank You 🙏
ОтветитьThis is all SO helpful, I love your entire channel!! Not only are these videos beautiful, but so informative! As someone who takes pride and care into my home, I love learning all these tips about how to care for things properly 💚 Also, love that you said a Polish word in the middle of this 😂 Although if you want to be really accurate with pronunciation, the stress is on the "o"—gonna type it out phonetically here: "sho-ROH-vach." Otherwise, you nailed it! 😊 EDIT: Forgot to mention since this important context—I'm Polish! lol (it was my first language)
Ответитьbut I like yellow white 😢
ОтветитьI sooo enjoyed this. Subbed
ОтветитьSo I guess this can't be done in a front load washing machine...
ОтветитьIf you have a family of 10 maybe you can divide and do 4 loads for each type. But when it's only 2 people, you don't put a load on for just 2 tshirts that are bright.
ОтветитьThank you Mrs. Stewart's for sponsoring this video.
ОтветитьNot only do you share knowledge of proper laundering, but you have a gift of calligraphy.
ОтветитьI always wash reds separately as red dyes tend to bleed longer than any other color. White vinegar in the wash will help set the dye.
ОтветитьExcellent video!Keep going!
ОтветитьLove your videos! Thanks!
ОтветитьOutstanding! Thank you for sharing this😁💖
ОтветитьCould you do one on laundry stripping, as in making towels and washcloths more absorbent by removing detergent buildup? I've been trying to figure this out for a while now and see so much conflicting info that I'm not sure where to start. But you seem like you would have this down with your laundry knowledge!
Ответитьgood work thank you.
ОтветитьThis video was fantastic! Love the aesthetic the music and your whole vibe! New subscriber😊
ОтветитьKnow what you're talking about. It's called Neel the clothes to make it look fresh white.
ОтветитьDoesn't he look alike Prince 😆
ОтветитьI separate my laundry into: whites, tops and underwears, pants and socks, beddings. Sometimes the 5th pile will be delicates. I just can't imagine washing my underwear with the boys socks and pants. Am I wrong ? 😂
ОтветитьAs a child I remember when my mom used to put a little marble size blue ball in the water before putting the whites in the rinse water
ОтветитьA man who knows about SILK???? You might as well just put a blinking light on your head that says "GAY MAN!"
ОтветитьI would watch paint dry if Rajiv was presenting it. 😂
ОтветитьI have to tell you how great this video is, and thank you for posting it! Since I watched this I have been adding the bluing to my whites and they are so much brighter! Thank you so much for this great content, you are a blessing to Planet Earth! And Yes, you do remind me of Mr. Rogers, and that's truly meant as a nice compliment! God Bless You!
ОтветитьI need to know the wall color!! 😂, seriously tho, I love that very light gray color on the wall. Everything about this video is so relaxing
ОтветитьRajiv, I am new to your channel, I was introduced to it by one of your dedicated subscribers. I love your content but more so Please tell me about your bangles
ОтветитьExcellent, Thank you.
ОтветитьSuch a fascinating and well presented video. Showing my family
ОтветитьFor white cloths....use backing power.
ОтветитьTry using scotch guard on your collars
ОтветитьI wonder what Rajiv smells like
ОтветитьI have lites, whites, darks, bed sheets, blankets and towels. I never wash my towels with any clothes.
ОтветитьWhen I was a child in Paraguay, we blued the sheets with a little blue cube.
Ответить🤯
ОтветитьLet’s meet Dorris!
ОтветитьI learned something new. the mrs. widow of bigjac
ОтветитьBlue rinse brigade. ......
