Thanks for letting me know. That's ok to. I have bought Mary Ellens once. It was so expensive I used it only to iron clothes. I have had the bottle going on 3 years. and there is still a little left in the bottom hehe!!![/quote]

I add 1/3 cup liquid starch and it makes it a little stiffer. Be careful in high humidity areas, because it can attract bugs. I don't worry about it because we are very low humidity.
