A Workhorse of Hoodoo Cleansing
Blue Balls, also called bluing balls or Anil balls, are laundry bluing, a documented hoodoo cleansing supply used in baths and floor washes. They’re made from compressed indigo and ultramarine pigment, the same laundry bluing agents that have been used since the 1850s to keep white fabrics bright. I stock these as a practical, everyday cleansing supply rather than a ceremonial one.
In hoodoo, Blue Balls are used in baths and floor washes for cleansing and jinx removal. They’re also used to remove crossed conditions. A crossed condition is the folk term for a state of persistent bad luck, blockage, or spiritual interference that won’t lift on its own. Whether you believe that condition arrived through deliberate intent or through accumulated negative energy in your environment, the approach is the same: dissolve the balls in water and use that water purposefully. You can mop your floors, scrub your doorstep, take a cleansing bath, or wipe down surfaces you want cleared. Browse my ritual waters and washes if you want to pair this with a complementary spiritual water for deeper work.
This 2oz container holds approximately 6 balls, distinguishing it from the separately listed 2-piece pack. It’s sized for practitioners who work with bluing regularly or who want enough on hand to run a thorough cleansing across multiple rooms or sessions. Bluing in baths and floor washes is recorded in twentieth-century hoodoo fieldwork. If you’re building out a cleansing and protection practice, they work well alongside smudge, protective herbs, and ritual floor washes.

How to Use Blue Balls
Use bluing balls to prepare spiritual washes and baths for cleansing, jinx removal, and protection.
- Prepare Your Bluing Wash
Drop two or three balls into a bucket of warm water and let them dissolve fully. The water will turn a clear, pale blue. You can use this as a floor wash, a scrub-down for doorsteps, or a base for a spiritual bath to clear crossed conditions.
- Apply with Intention
Wash your floors from back to front door, pushing energy out as you go. For a spiritual bath, add the bluing water to your tub, soak for ten minutes, and visualize jinxes and negativity lifting clear from your body and space.
- Finish and Dispose Properly
After mopping, dispose of wash water outside your property, ideally at a crossroads or off your land. After a bath, air-dry rather than towel off so the purifying effect has time to settle before you dress and go about your day.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry these because bluing balls are a documented hoodoo cleansing supply, used in baths and floor washes. The balls dissolve cleanly, and the 2oz cylinder is a reliable format. Hoodoo is a living tradition, and I offer this as an entry point, not a substitute for learning from practitioners and community. One practical note: bluing will stain grout, porous tile, and fabric if you use too many balls at once. Start with two or three in a full bucket of water. The solution should look faintly blue, not dark. A deeper concentration isn’t more effective and will leave blue residue on surfaces. Used correctly, it rinses clean and leaves no trace.
Frequently Asked Questions
Blue Balls are laundry bluing, used in hoodoo floor washes and baths for cleansing and jinx removal. They are also used to remove crossed conditions.
A 2oz container holds approximately 6 balls. This is a compressed indigo-based bluing agent, so a little goes a long way. Two or three balls dissolved in a bucket of water is enough for a full floor wash or spiritual bath session.
Laundry bluing is a household laundry product, and it isn’t made or tested for skin use. Spiritual baths are a documented hoodoo use, so if you try it, dissolve the balls fully, use only a small amount, and test a little on your forearm first. Skip the bath use if you have sensitive skin.
The 2oz container holds approximately 6 balls in a single cylinder. The 2-piece pack has two individually wrapped balls. For regular ritual work, the 2oz container gives you more product and is a better fit for ongoing practice.
