Starching, and then putting in the frig - my mother used to do this. But, she hated to iron so much, that she would get to the "putting in the frig" part and leave everything til it mildewed and then threw it out. Luckily for us, she didn't do that to too many clothes since we weren't wealthy. I know things were sort of saturated with the starch mixture and I think she did it in the sink in the cellar near the washing machine. When I got old enough I took over the ironing and no more mildew. I still like to iron.
