I am so glad I read this thread today. I did not know that I should let the starch dry a bit before ironing. No wonder my iron is a mess and I have flaking! I will start letting it soak in. I love Best Press, but don't live close to a store that sells it - like at least an hour drive one way. I had been buying the Niagara Non Aerosol Spray Starch and liked that, but do not find it in any of the stores around here. To those of you who use Niagara, what store do you get it at?
