Marketed as a gentle but effective cleaning agent, it was known for making laundry easier and less labor-intensive, especially when washing by hand was the norm. Pearline’s formula was touted for its ability to remove dirt and grease from clothing, dishes, and even floors.One of the unique aspects of Pearline's advertising was its colorful and often whimsical trade cards. These cards usually featured humorous or charming scenes, aimed at appealing to homemakers of the time. Some cards also depicted the product as being so safe and effective that it could be used without causing harm to fabrics or skin, which was a significant selling point in an era before synthetic detergents.Its popularity dwindled in the early 20th century as new laundry products and methods emerged. However, Pearline's legacy lives on through collectible advertising and trade cards, which give us a glimpse into domestic life and advertising from that era.
