Yep, I know about putting clothing in the fridge after starching. My sister is 10 years older than I am and I used to do her ironing for her when I was a young teenager. She liked me to very slightly dampen her blouses with water, then starch with the liquid starch/water mixed in an old soda bottle with one of those sprinkle stoppers, put them in the fridge for a while, then Iron. They used to turn out really nice and crisp looking.....An old old old fashinged thing, I guess.

I'm confused... you keep damp clothes in the fridge?
I was curious so I googled. The only thing I found was to keep the clothes moist until you have the time to iron, place them in the refrigerator. It said only up to 24 hours. I even found some people that will put them in the freezer if they can't iron them right away.
Sorry, I did not make that clear. Yes, it was clothing to be ironed.
