Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I've starched fabric before using Sta-Flo. Then I starched the fabric, put in plastic bag for about a 1/2 hour so it could soak in, tumbled in dryer until just slightly damp, and pressed.
The Best Press bottle says just spray and press. When I do that my iron gets the residue all over it, even when using a pressing sheet.
Can someone who has used this product tell me where I'm going wrong? Thanks so much!
How saturated is the fabric? I have never had a problem with Best Press. Love the stuff. Maybe try backing off how much your spraying and waiting a few minutes to let it sink in. Good luck.
I spray it on and let it set for 5 minutes or so and I have had no problem with it. Now, you don't need to saturate it like you do with spray starch. I love the aroma of it and it does a wonderful job. Also, I do use 1/2 cup of Best Press and 1/2 cup of water in my sprayer and it makes the Best Press last longer and it does a good job for me.

I don't let it sit after spraying and I have no problem. I just spray lightly.
Thanks ladies! I'm sure I was spraying too heavily. I really appreciate your quick and helpful responses!
Will have to try that stuff someday, everyone raves so about it. I just use the sta-flo, and to make it smell good I add some febreze (or any brand fabric refresher)!
If a woman's work is never done....why start?
I think you're spraying too heavily, too. I spritz rather than spray.....and have no problems. I also add water ....1/2 Best Press and 1/2 water.......works just fine and costs 1/2

another spritzer of the 50/50 mix...love the stuff and buy by the gallon
I have a question. Do you need to use both StaFlo and Best Press? I thought you use one or the other.
