That is where I got mine. Walmart. It is ok, but Mary Ellen's is still my fabric.

Maybe everyone should call or write the manufacturer about the fragrance!

i don't have asthma, but i do not tolerate scented products at all. so i have always bought the unscented. last year i read in a magazine from my local healthfood store, that when a product is "unscented" it is more "toxic" to us than scented, because of the scent chemicals that they use to mask the chemical smells of stuff used to make the product. that is the "fragrance" you read in the ingredients label. so now i sniff everything and buy the least intollerable odor. scented downy fabric softener sheets being the exception...good Lord...those thing make me feel actually ILL, so for downey i buy unscented.

I got mine at Walmart too. It was way up on the top shelf, in with laundry products.

Couldn't find it in stores here in So Cal, so ordered it on line. The scent is too overpowering for me and I am not usually bothered by scents. I now use the Niagara Non-Aerosol spray starch, which I also had to buy on line 'cuz I couldn't find it here.

I love the bounce ironing spray. I found it at Walmart but the last time I was there the shelf was empty. I hope this doesn't mean it is being discontinued.

My local Walmart carries it, stocked with the spray starch.

Thanks everyone. I've looked in every Wal*Mart I've been in, every Target, Walgreens, and all the other stores found on their site and the addresses they gave for my area. Wonder whether it's been discontinued or redone since so many say the scent is very heavy.

Like I said above, my other half works at Meijer's and I asked about it being in the Indy store on clearance. I was told that they just did a reset in our store which is retail speak for the area is cleaned and reorganized by the manufacturer. A reset isn't done if the item is being discontinued so I think it is safe to say it isn't being discontinued. It may not move well in the other chain stores so they may stop carrying it.
