I've never used Best Press due mostly to the price and availability to acquire it in my area. I do use the Vodka recipe for making my own and add liquid starch to it as I like a stiffer result. If I know I'll be starching, I usually use a dishpan filled with my recipe, dip the fabric and hang it over the tub so it drains back into the tub for reuse. I normally just let it dry before pressing. I'll use my spray bottle filled with water to mist it while ironing. If I just need to add a little starch while pressing, I have a spray bottle filled with my recipe near by. So far with my recipe I have never had a starch build up on my iron.
