I wait until I have a 50% off coupon from Joann's and I buy it from their online store..........There are times when it is on sale there for 50% off as well.......

I have never had mine change color and I am very stingy with its use. I have had the same small bottle for several years now and it is still the same clear color as originally. I would contact the company.

She didn't say she used it on the fabric, just afraid too in case it will stain. I have the lavender Best Press sitting by a window and the amount of sunlight hitting the bottle makes it change to different bluish to purple to weird color to back to bluish again. I never paid much attention the color of it.

I bought a gallon of the clear, unscented from the LQS where I work...about $40 but I get the employee discount.

I transfer it to my spray bottle as needed. Never had any trouble with discoloring, either in the bottle, or on fabric.

I like the Bounce Ironing Spay as much as the Best Press. It seems the same thing. It's not a starch. It cost a lot less too. Walmart here has it.

I buy it by the gallon from my LQS. I paid $49. I pour it into small sample bottles and it is lasting well. Yes, it is expensive from my LQS; but I want them to stay in business.

I thought about that but it doesn't see any sunlight...there's only one, north window in the room and the ironing area is in the far corner from it.

I took it back to m LQS, and he did replace it. He left a message at the Best Press customer service number, and will let me know what he finds out. Says he's never seen anything like it.
