Answer 1

The five precautionary measures to be followed during bluing are:

1. Coloured materials should not be blued since they will turn bluish all over.
2. Fabrics should not be dipped in blue water that has been sitting for more than five minutes because the blue particles settle at the bottom.
3. Fabrics should not be placed in blue water for long periods of time or patches will form.
4. If the cloth has blue patches, it should be cleaned in vinegar water.
5. Blued materials should be sun-dried.
