I love The Wash Studio Bluing for my laundry. What else can I use it for?

Our Concentrated Liquid Bluing is primarily designed to enhance and maintain the brightness of white fabrics. However, some customers use it for other purposes, including:

  • Whitening white pet fur (consult with a vet before use)
  • Brightening fabrics used in crafts and DIY projects
  • Enhancing the brilliance of white sneakers and canvas shoes
  • Restoring the crisp look of white table linens and curtains

Always dilute properly before use, and test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

I just tried your bluing and am not seeing the whitening results I expected. Why?

There are a few reasons why results may not be immediate:

  • Fabric condition – If your white clothes have yellowed due to years of detergent buildup or excessive bleaching, it may take multiple washes to restore brightness.
  • Water hardness – Hard water can reduce the effectiveness of bluing. If you have hard water, using a water softener may help.
  • Improper dilution – Bluing must be diluted properly before adding it to your laundry to ensure even distribution.

For best results, we recommend using The Wash Studio Bluing in every wash from the moment you buy white garments to prevent dulling over time.

Does bluing expire?
Bluing has an indefinite shelf life if stored properly. However, because it is water-based, evaporation can occur over time, making the solution more concentrated. If this happens, simply dilute it with distilled water to restore the correct consistency.
What are the ingredients in The Wash Studio Concentrated Liquid Bluing?
Our formula is a proprietary blend of ultra-fine blue iron pigments suspended in a water-based solution. It is non-toxic and environmentally friendly when used as directed.

If you have sensitive skin or allergies, we recommend wearing gloves while handling and avoiding direct skin contact.

I accidentally used too much bluing and now have blue spots on my clothes. How do I fix this?

Don't worry—bluing is not permanent! Here's how to remove excess bluing:

  • For fresh stains – Rinse the fabric immediately under cold running water.
  • For dried stains – Soak the affected area in a solution of warm water and baking soda (1 tablespoon per litre of water) for 30–60 minutes, then wash as usual.
  • For stubborn stains – Use a mild white vinegar solution (one part vinegar, two parts water) and gently rub the stained area before rewashing.

Always test stain removal methods on an inconspicuous area first.

Can I use The Wash Studio Bluing on a white shirt that has coloured prints or embroidery?
Yes! Bluing can be safely used on white garments with coloured prints, embroidery, or logos. Because bluing does not remove stains or dirt, but instead adds a subtle blue tint to enhance whiteness, it will not affect coloured details. However, we recommend using the correct dilution and testing on a small area first.
Can I use The Wash Studio Bluing in high-efficiency (HE) washing machines?
Yes! Our bluing is safe for both standard and HE washing machines. Simply add the diluted bluing solution to the fabric softener compartment or final rinse cycle to ensure even distribution. Never pour undiluted bluing directly onto clothes.
