I cannot seem to control where my starch lands when I use spray starch; I am sick & tired of "starching" my floor & furniture. My latest experiment was to mix Sta-Flo liquid starch & water (as per usage instructions on starch bottle) in a small plastic tub and soak my fabric thoroughly in it, hang it on the outside clothesline, and then iron it when it's dry. There are washer/dryer use instructions on the bottle as well, but I don't want the starch in my expensive appliances either. It's probably harmless to my washer/dryer but I don't need to find out for sure.
