bluing / preservative


Explanation:
I would agree with Robert on the bluing part, but "conservante" is usually translated as preservative.

Here's a ref. on the bluing:

The house was finished, inside and out, with handmade plaster to which laundry bluing had been added to give brilliance. Except for some patching over the years the interior and exterior finishes are of the original clay, straw and animal dung plaster commonly used by Ukrainian pioneer builders. http://www.ltc.sk.ca/negrychs_venlaw.htm

Hope it helps.
