Isn't it amazing what a wonderful
difference color can make in your
home? The women in our neighbor
hood have discovered such an inex
pensive way to get fresh new colors,
that I thought you’d like to know
about it.
It all began two weeks ago when
Mrs. Jon son was ex
pecting a visit from
her mother-in-law.
She’d just painted,
her guest room
walls a soft grey
and planned to boy
new furnishings.
But, as she put it:
"T!.< bu. yet ran
dry!” Well, to the
rescue came ner own automari •
washing machine, a few dime pack
ages of all-fabric dye and a bulletin
of instructions issued bv the Tinte/
Home Economics Bureau of New
York City . . . and when her guest
arrived, there were crisp p.nk cur
tains at the window, a matching
pink bedspread, two
navy blue rug-, on the
floor — and the easy j
chair hud a fresh ji
navy Inae slip c*,.»or,
The complete trans
formation cost less
than $2.00!
Mrs. Jonson sim
ply dyed the furnish
ings she already had
with all-fabric dye.
So easily, too — she
just put the items into her washing
machine, let the water run in, then
added the dye she’d mixed in a
pitcher of hot water. When the
washer had run through its regular
course, including the final rinse, the
tintexing process was complete,
whereupon she hung the pieces to
dry, ironed them and put them back
in the room!
That guest room simply glows
with color . . . and now, we’re all
following Mrs. Jonson’s example —
tintexing our furnishings and bulky
wearables right in our washing
machines. The results are simply
amazing. And it’s such an inexpen
sive way to rejuvenate every room
