way back when, before bleach, that is - i remember my mother using
bluestone - a blue cube of goodness knows what - but that "bluing" can
still be gotten in some supermarket laundry supply sections.

& i don't know whether it did as much damage to the environment as
bleach, but it did get the clothes whiter.

i've seen the "bluing" marketed as powder, as liquid and a long time
ago as a stone about the size of pool-player's chalk.
