I'm not patient enough to use starch on lights so end up scorching it--even the non-scorching type.

Wool is a different story. It will be eaten very quickly if you don't keep up with the moth crystals or cedar shavings.
Cedar chips is another story. They will discolor anything if they are left together for months. never let cedar touch any material. always have a barrier between cedar and any material even in a cedar chest. In our modern age of cleanliness I don't think starch is to much of a problem. I still prefer Magic Sizing. Why take the chance!
