Renovating Shabby Blinds
Dear Aunt Daisy, For the "Link" who asked about renovating her shabby faded holland blinds, tell her that this method
is very satisfactory. I treat mine every year, and they look like new. Wash them first with cool soapy water. When dry, rub over with linseed oil on both
sides (either raw or boiled oil will do). I do not remove the blinds from the rollers. They are quite easily treated. "Trish Lass" (Otorohanga). Still another suggestion was to rub them with shoe polish, after cleansing with soapy water, and drying.. Put the polish on with a brush, and then rub
up-with a.clean soft_brush.and a velvet pad, exactly as for shoes. You can get shoe polish in more than one colour. |
