Not the same thing as the little blue packet of salt in Smith's Crisps then? But perhaps so.

O.K. Jules, Go to the top of the class and take a gold star. I note from the internet they are still on sale, but not in this area. My Mum and Nan used to soak their white washing in dolly blue and it always seem to make the whites glow. I am going on a mission to find it again and bring back happy memories.

I can remember my Mum using Dolly Blue in her whites wash.

There are still a few shops around North Lancashire that sell an Indian version of it in powder form.
