MIRACLE WHITE
Of all the products recommended by Open Line listeners, MIRACLE WHITE seems to have no equal. it has delighted users to the point they have written many cards and letters as well as called in on the Open Line expressing their complete joy and satisfaction.
MIRACLE WHITE is a one of a kind product; a detergent saver, water softener, rust preventative in the laundry and rust remover for clothes.
Other tough washday problems this washer additive can eliminate are the yellowing of the shirt collars and blouses. Body oil which is secreted from the sweat glands along with fatty substances which accumulate daily on the body, and later on all undergarments, does not wash from clothing. You can wash white clothes with yellow stained collars and undergarments with yellowed straps in all the detergent you wish, but it will still be there. Add MIRACLE WHITE as directed on the bottle and watch your clothes get white again.
Toilet bowl and water tank stains can be safely removed with MIRACLE WHITE. Pour one cup of MIRACLE WHITE into the water tank and one cup of MIRACLE WHITE into the toilet bowl. Let stand overnight. In the morning wipe off with a rag and flush toilet.
When added to the bath water, it is soothing to the skin and you will have no bathtub ring.
MIRACLE WHITE is available at most supermarkets or local grocers can obtain it at your request.
A special Stain Removal Chart for your laundry is also available upon request. it is free and sent postpaid. Send your name and address to "MIRACLE WHITE " WMT Radio, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52406.
