Show TRY NEW WAY TO imiCIITEN RUG la your Axminstcr limp and woary from years of hard use? lei:hfn,.ps.what u nccds is a little lostjaoningr, or, to use the professional pro-fessional term, resizing-. ThS best way to have a rusr or carpet restiffened is to take it to a professional cleaner, trained to do the job and do it well. But if you are one who likes to tackle such chores yourself, here's the way it's done: Start out by mixing- a solution of laundry starch, following carefully care-fully the directions on the box of starch cubes. Then stretch your nig- or carpet face down on the floor, and tack down carefully. This is especially important to protect it against curling or shrinking. Next, apply the starch solution to the back of the rug with an ordinary paintbrush, taking tak-ing special care not to make the coating too thick. Leave the rug tacked down until thoroughly dry. |
