[QUOTE="research, post: 9570323, member: 22667"]I have a 1940s/1950s cotton Southwestern print camp blanket. It's in rough shape and very dirty and have been trying to clean it. It's not really valuable, I just like the look and want to decorate with it. I've done about 20 soaks over the past 24 hours in cool and warm water and the water still runs somewhat pink from the red dye that is in part of the pattern. Will this old dye ever completely wash out or will it always bleed? I just don't want the colors rubbing off if this is used on a chair, etc. Trying to know if I'm wasting my time. Thanks[/QUOTE]
