From everything I have read, I live in a climate with such low humidity that we do not have the insects that damage fabric.
Lucky you! I have to be careful of my temps/humidy in my home. in the South, mold/mildew/insects are a big problem. So these homemade 'organic' starch recipes are not good for us as they attract bugs, both big and small!
