Painting a Carpet
Dear Aunt Daisy, My kitchen carpet has done wonderful service for 14 years-in fact it still looks quite good, and I wash it every week, I painted another one about three months ago, but the paint has worn off, and I cannot find out what is the best kind to use. Can you help me? It is a green I want.-Ohura. I believe any good floor paint will do, bat did you forget to first "seal" the carpet by going over it with gluesize, or thick boiled starch. I think that #s the secret of the paint not wearing off.
