Thank him for pressing his own clothes and ask him to purchase the next bottle.

I make my own vanilla extract with vodka. I have to take a couple of ounces out of the bottle to fit the beans in so I use that for my spray. And it's a very common misconception that the vodka has starch. I see people referring to it all the time but very few mentioning that it has no starch once it's distilled or whatever. I don't think we'll ever dispel that false notion.

My husband uses it, too. Loves the smell and will touch up iron his shirts before putting them on to get to use it. So funny as he is generally not a fan of fluff or feminine things at all.

Fantastic stuff. No buildup on iron and no flaking. I reserve it for the sewing projects only. It is tempting to use it on dress shirts but I'm too cheap to waste it and let the Rowenta iron steam things smooth. I also buy it by the gallon and watch for sales.

I've never tried Best Press I do the 1 to 1 ratio of Sta-Flo I never get build up on my iron but that might be due to I'm a beginner & can't whip up quilts to fast yet BUT I did decide to give it a try due to everyone saying how good it smells, I bought a gallon on sale I can't remember where but it should be here anyday. I'm looking forward to it. (I don't like to drive anymore so mostly mail order)

For some reason our Joann's doesn't carry the Best Press. Always wonder why.

I wasn't impressed with Best Press either.

I buy Niagra spray starch at WM, no flaking, it makes the fabric a little stiffer than BP and is so cheap
