Have you tried using a lint roller to remove the flaking starch after you press it, I use that and it seems to work just fine. I keep them handy for cleaning my ironing board, cutting board, work table, quilt squares, etc. I don't know what I would do if I ran out. I get the small ones also where the handle collapses into the roll and tuck one in my sewing bag when I go on a trip or to a quilting meeting, that way I always come away with clean clothes, clean work areas and nobody gets upset.
