Unhappy Best Press Question

Can anyone tell me why Best Press stains some fabrics but not others. Thank you

Are the ones getting stained the lighter colors? Are the stains permanent, or have you tried washing them out?

It's mostly on light colors and it does wash out.

Best Press is wonderful stuff, but did you know that it works equally as well when diluted 50% with water? I don't have any issues with staining either.

I didn't know that but am certainly going to try diluting it as this is about the fourth time it's happened to me, luckily not while working on the same quilt. I love this board! Thank you

I have diluted my Best Press for the past 4 years and it works wonderful and no staining. Although I don't think I have ever had any spotting if I didn't dilute it. . .

Didn't know I could dilute it! Just bought a new bottle and still have the old one, I guess I will split it between the 2 and have twice as much!!! Thanks folks we do learn something all the time.

This board is certainly a money saver. Thanks for the info on diluting.

I use Best Press by the gallon. I have never diluted it and, so far, have had no spotting. Maybe I am just lucky.
