Re: Reckitts Blue
I can remember the product itself as being a medium blue shade but that's from early childhood memories of being at my Nan's house on Washing Day (ordained in ancient British tribal lore as Monday).
IIRC it came in a solid block and you put it (or a piece of it?) in with your laundry - before us working class people had washing machines - to make washing look whiter somehow (forget the so-called Space Age: this was the area where 1950s technology was moving at dizzying speeds, if you believed the ads, rather like anti-ageing creams are the hot technology in the Digital Age). You can still buy the stuff somewhere, for all I know.
