Colours Ran Back
Dear Aunt Daisy, I heard you asking about the mixture for setting colours. I had a pair of cot-tage-weave curtains, and as I thought, washed them carefully; but when I hung them out to dry all the colours had run into each other. They really were awful. So I tried this hint, and believe me, you have no idea the difference it made.. The colours just seemed to go into their own. place again: Grate 2 medium-sized potatoes as finely as possible, add: cup vinegar, and 4% cup of salt. Allow this mixture to stand 10 minutes, add a gallon of rain water if possible, Let material or garments soak for 20 minutes before washing. The colours are not only set by this method, but also sun-proofed. :
