I agree with Onebyone. If you use vodka, you're basically using alcohol water, it does not contain starch. Lots of people mix it with scented essential oils to make a scented spray for pressing, but it doesn't actually stiffen the fabric.

In that same vein, Best Press is starch. I know it says "starch alternative" on the label, but that doesn't mean it's NOT starch. It's simply an alternative to traditional starches such as Sta-Flo.

Has anyone noticed that Niagra has discontinued its non-aerosol spray starch? My friend Cindi texted me this am, she couldn't find it anywhere online. I went to a couple of grocery chains in my area and she's right, it's gone gone gone. That stuff was the absolute best, and I am going to be so sad if they've discontinued it! We should start a letter-writing campaign, see if our many voices can change their mind. They have some new product called "Niagra Smooth Finish Ironing Spray" that Cindi says doesn't get the fabric stiff at all.
