   It does. But Solvol doesn’t smell nearly as bad :-)

Now I remember back in the heady days of 70s feminism ... women lounging around in bean bags asking why advertisers insulted our intelligence with advertisements in which women sat around discussing whether their washing powder really got their whites whiter than white or what, when no woman on the planet had ever engaged in such a conversation.

Fast forward to the 00s and I find myself discussing via email with another woman on how to bleach my bricks whiter than white, while a bunch of guys on LUGnet are comparing cleaning products for getting that smooth shiny finish.

Hmm ...

So, how do you get the white bricks whiter than white?

And, even more importantly, are there any thoughts on removing the yellowish tinge that you get on (some) older grey bricks? I don’t mind the white - tan range for buildings, but the yellowish grey is just not a good look.
