I really do like the feel of unwashed fabric, so I press all my washed fabric using Mary Ellen's Best Press. I will tell all ya'll that I dilute it with distilled water at 50% (half Best Press & half water. It works just fine diluted, still has the same fragrance and feels like the full-strength formula.
So the diluted works as well as undiluted? I use so much of it, and it's kinda expensive, so that would help.
