I'm surprised no one has mentioned regular "Sta-Flo"liquid starch. We've been using that for a long time and never had a problem. You can buy it in any store that carries laundry products: soap, bleach, dryer sheets, etc. The bottle says to use two parts water to one part starch for your spray bottle, but we've been using 4 parts water to 1 part starch. It works great and doesn't flake. About 2 to 3 dollars worth will make a gallon at the 4 to 1 ratio. I've used the Best Press, and can't tell the difference. Now I have my Stay-Flo starch in the Best Press bottle.
