Textile bleaching in Early Modern Germany



A colleague forwarded me this question, I don't know the answer, and thought some members of this list might be able to help him.
 
>Was lime used in the process to bleach textiles in Germany during the 18th century or earlier?
>
>... I suspect that lime wasn't used in Germany because they had no need -there was plenty of alkaline salt around
 
 
Thanks.
