Reckitt's Blue is a very old product which was used in a wash (NOT washing machine) as a whitener, to help delay the yellowing effect you can get when cotton gets older. We have been told it has many other uses too, from cleaning crystal & glassware etc (although we have never tested this) and we always have a run on these when it comes to the time of the year for horse shows, and Crufts! Amazing colour and a real talking point for any nostalgists kitchen! Please click on images for a bigger version. The colour of this product is aquamarine blue which is used extensively in paints and other products as a colour.
