Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 122, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 May 1915 — Dyeing a Rug. [ARTICLE]

Dyeing a Rug.

A Brussels rug which begins to look threadbare may be greatly improved in appearance and made to do at least one more season by giving it a dye bath with dye such as is used for fabrics. A 9 by 12 rug will require two packages. Prepare all at once in one large kettle so the color will be uniform, but take out only a small quantity at a time so you will have a supply of hot, clean liquid to work with. Apply to small space at a time with even stroke* straight along with the weave of the carpet. [
