I spray it on and let it set for 5 minutes or so and I have had no problem with it. Now, you don't need to saturate it like you do with spray starch. I love the aroma of it and it does a wonderful job. Also, I do use 1/2 cup of Best Press and 1/2 cup of water in my sprayer and it makes the Best Press last longer and it does a good job for me.
