Magic Salt Crystal Garden:
For generations, bluing has been known as an essential ingredient of a "Salt Crystal Garden". This delightful crystalline formation became popular in the Great Depression, and is still known to some as a "Depression Flower" or "Coal Garden". By combining common ingredients (salt, water, bluing, food coloring and ammonia) over a porous base material (Coal, sponge, or other), the salt recrystallizes into beautiful, delicate coral-like formations. Children growing one of their own have been winning blue ribbons in science fairs ever since! Elementary teachers find it invaluable in teaching their students about crystals. We have offered the recipe free to individuals, schools, and scout troops for decades! Magic Salt Crystal Garden Recipe

Brighten Swimming Pool Water:
Years ago, a woman in southern California added a bottle of Mrs. Stewart's Bluing to her swimming pool before the arrival of weekend house guests. The result was, to her, nothing short of a miracle! The inviting appearance of the pool kept the guests in a swimming mood the entire weekend and the hostess could relax and enjoy her guests as well as her Pacific blue pool. Some pool manufacturers and dealers use Mrs. Stewart's Bluing in their display pools and claim it really helps to close a sale. For standard pools (20' x 40'), add one or two bottles where water is recirculated from the filter, being careful not to splash directly on pool surface. Do not use in aerated pools such as jacuzzis or whirlpools as spotting can occur. Incidentally, a little bluing in the bath water can work wonders getting kids into the tub, too!

Whiter Hair:
Countless letters from elderly citizens tell us that Mrs. Stewart's Bluing is a wonderful addition to the rinse water when washing gray or white hair. It eliminates yellowing and gives their hair that beautiful whiteness which cannot be obtained even by products made especially for that purpose. It is absolutely safe, and because it is used by the drop, costs less than a penny per use! Use just a couple of drops in the rinse water. No wonder hair salons are beginning to contact us! Because we haven't tested MSB for whitening hair, we don't publish a specific formula. However, our customers tell us they wash and rinse their hair as normal. Then, they dilute a "couple" or a "few" drops of MSB in 1-2 quarts of water and run the diluted bluing through their hair as the final rinse. Some do this with every washing, some only when needed. For more information, click here.

Whiter Pets:
If Mrs. Stewart's Bluing is good for white hair, is it good for white pet fur and hair? The answer is, of course, YES! Owners of white pets claim Mrs. Stewart's Bluing to be a real beauty treatment for their pets . . . even horses! Whether it be a palomino's tail being readied for a parade, or a poodle being groomed for a show, just a couple of drops of Mrs. Stewart's Bluing in the rinse water does the trick!
