I have followed this discussion with fascination, amazing what we now know
that granny didn't. Still most of their stuff was servicable sheets etc and
I suppose a bit like the ladies using lead make up way back, not necessarily
as good as it might appear.
thanks for you wonderful insight.

I wouldn't recommend Reckitts Bag Blue either, for exactly the same
reason! I used to use a non-bleach form of nappy cleaner for my
daughters clothes when she was a baby, but the particular brand I used
is no longer available, it was a powder that dissolved completely in
warm water. If I come up with a solution I'll let you know!

Reckits Blue Bags! NO!
They bring the laundry up looking "whiter" but it's impossible to
subsequently was hit out and in time it makes the fabric look grey.
When I was a child Mum received quite a lot of sheets etc from Grandma
and they had all been washed many times and whitened with blue bags. You
could always tell if the sheets on the bed ere from Grandma's by the grey
colour.
Not to mention the fact that the blue is actually ground up lapiz lazuli
(low quality) and the tiny granules have sharp edges which can cause
damage to the fibres of the fabric.
