Pre-Wash Powder A Great Grey Monday for Smalls

...what will they say?    ...the neighbours!    ...Who cares?

You are bidding on a packet of Rus's Acme 1888 'Claude' Pre-Wash Greying Powder (about a level table spoon full).

RUS'S PRE-WASH GREYING POWDER GIVES YOUR WHITES THAT EXTRA SPECIAL 'Pre TV' GREYNESS.

Rus's solution - before you wash your smalls - dip em in Rus's solution (Rus's Claude Powder diluted wi' a gallon o' water wi' a tad o' washing-up wiquilid).

You know John, 'Grey is the new Black' 

(John Claude - Vogue Magazine May 2008)

To astonished neighbours, stunned by the extraordinary dull greyness of the array of various tatty washed undergarments flapping merrily in a light warm breeze, held with bright new multi-coloured plastic pegs on a brand new orange clothes line:-

"Oh I never use washing powder.  You don't need any of that fancy stuff when you have a washing machine.  We've just got one you know!" 

Mrs Rhoda L. - mid Bridleway Bottoms, Rossendale Forest, Lancashire -  the ides o May1972. 

Indeed. Why struggle and worry about the whiteness of your smalls.

Say goodbye to Mr Lever & his Spinners - be free from all that hype.

Save your struggle and worry muscles for more important matters.

Save your hard-earned for far more important stuff.

Use less washing powder.

Let your best whites be just that - for the rest - here's the answer.
