Re-dyeing Khaki Shirts
Dear Aunt Daisy, A listener asked you about the redyeing of khaki shirts. The following hint may help. After washing the garment in the usual way, dissolve some Condy’s Crystals in the rinsing water and leave for a few minutes. The crystals will have to be carefully dissolved, and it will depend on how faded the garment is, as to the amount of crystals required. I got this hint out of a Home paper and have tried it myself, and found it worked all right-Aberdonian. Thank you very much. I suppose it would be as well to dissolve the crystals in a little water first, and then strain that into the rinsing water. You would then be sure that all had dissolved properly.
