Yep. I know mine has spread a little further than I've wanted too many times. My wide ironing board is set up along the end of my cutting table. I've gotten starch on everything sitting on my table. Ugh! I now cover the end of my cutting table, when I'm spraying with starch, with a scrap piece of flannel I had laying around. I also have one on the ironing board so I can toss it in the wash often.
