Just started with this process myself. I bought liquid Sta-Flo, mixed it 50-50 with water, and put it in a small spray bottle. I wet the fabric and then spin in the washer so it's not too wet. Take the moistened fabric, spray with the premixed starch(I spray over the kitchen sink or the tub...they are easy to clean if you get overspray), fold or roll the starched fabric, put it in a plastic bag for a bit, then go iron. It helps to put a bath towel over the ironing board first. When the towel gets too packed down, throw it in the laundry and wash all that starch out...keeps your ironing board from collecting all that starch. The bugs in my septic haven't complained yet, but they aren't getting much starch by doing it this way.
