Bounce Ironing Spray works awesome!!!!!!!!!
 
I just tried this product and am totally amazed how well it works in place of starch. I like to use starch on my fabric before cutting out my pieces....living in Canada purchasing starch is non existent except for aerosol starch. I have friends that go to the states and bring me back Sta Flo....which I love. But in between their visits to the states I will be using Bounce Ironing Spray. Give it a try I'm sure you will all be impressed and the price is good too.

Does it smell like Bounce?

Raggiemom 05-09-2012 04:34 AM

I bought some last week and tried it--there was a $1 coupon on the bottle :) It does work pretty well and leaves a Bounce/Febreze scent behind.

Ladies at our guild were using this yesterday. They seemed to really like it so next time I go to Walmart I plan on getting some to try it out.

BellaBoo 05-09-2012 05:30 AM

I was sent a free sample and liked it a lot. I went to Walmart and bought a case of of 12 bottles. I knew the price would only increase later on and it did. I think it has a lighter scent then Best Press. A guild member is very sensitive to scents and the Bounce spray doesn't bother her.

First time I've heard of this product. Is it in a spray pump bottle? May in Jersey

LindaR 05-09-2012 05:45 AM

I use niagara that comes in a spray bottle, will have to look for this

baslp 05-09-2012 05:53 AM

Is the scent really strong? I do not want to get an allergy attack.

BMP 05-09-2012 05:55 AM

I think its pretty pricey but still less than best press !

That is my problem. Most products have too much scent added and both my husband and I get sick. What is wrong with natural?

lisalovesquilting 05-09-2012 06:09 AM

How stiff does it make the fabric?

TerryQuilter 05-09-2012 06:35 AM

I have been looking for this product for months. I have checked several Wal-Marts, Targets, Walgrens, etc--can't find it any where.

patchsamkim 05-09-2012 06:39 AM

I will have to see if I can find it somewhere to try. I do like the Best Press but it is pricey. Hopefully I can find it and it won't be too "scenty"

SuzyQ 05-09-2012 06:41 AM

Never heard of it. I'll have to give it a try ... thanks!

You folks on the QB turned me on to the merits of starch/Best Press, etc. Found a bottle of the Bounce and used it for the first time last week. VERY helpful. Think I paid about $3.49 at our local WalMartm which still makes it about half the price of Best Press at my LQS. Personally, I'd prefer a little less scent but it isn't obnoxious.

mighty 05-09-2012 07:13 AM

Haven't heard of this, I'll have to check it out. Thanks!!!!

dunster 05-09-2012 07:16 AM

I'm not allergic, but I really hate to buy products that are scented. Why do manufacturers do this?

Feel the same way. It is hard to find unscented anything!

Arleners 05-09-2012 08:42 PM

I agree with you! I tried the product a month or so ago and have been using it ever since. I think it leaves the fabric nice and solid for cutting and piecing. I also like that it is a spray bottle and non-aerosol. The smell is pleasant and not over powering. The Downy wrinkle release works too, but I prefer the Bounce spray.

Silver Needle 05-09-2012 08:49 PM

I like best press diluted with some water in a 3 oz travel hair spray bottle for pressing when piecing but will look into this product for pressing fabric after washing.

crafty pat 05-09-2012 09:08 PM

Have never heard of it. Wish I had known about it today, was at WalMart and would have looked for it.

Peckish 05-09-2012 09:10 PM

Very interesting. I was curious so I googled, and came across this:

"Bounce Ironing Spray contains patented polymers. The polymers also pull humidity from the air while you wear your clothing, relaxing the fabric and preventing wrinkles from returning. It is safe on all fabrics."

I asked my husband (the walking encyclopedia) what a polymer is, and he replied that it's a plastic, like Flubber.

I'll have to do some digging, see if I can get a free sample too!

deedum 05-10-2012 03:25 AM

I finally found Bounce spray at Walmart, they finally got it in.. I looked and looked in every store for a long time. Now that I got it, it is good. Not crazy about the scent but no problems or complaints. I still like Mary Ellen Press better, it has a better scent and just so crisp! I would probably buy Bounce again, especially if ME's is not on sale.

grann of 6 05-10-2012 03:39 AM

So what are the contents? I am a package reader, because of my allergies. Is it an aerosol or a pump sprayer? I am not into all those chemicals, so will have to look for it and read the ingredients before I jump in and buy it.

jcrow 05-10-2012 03:47 AM

I'm gain! I will check out our local Walmart (ugh) and see if I can find it. What department? I said "ugh" because our Walmart is huge and parking is a bear and even if you only want one item, you are there for 45 minutes. I try to steer clear of Walmart unless it's 7 am or 10 pm.

joejoe31 05-10-2012 04:18 AM

it works sooo great and with the dollar off coupon its only 1.50 or little over

veryvirginia 05-10-2012 05:06 AM

I don't know about Bounce but Best Press has a no scent, which I use if the quilt is going to someone with allergies or may have allergies.

I also tried this and really like it. I like it better than Best Press, it seems to do a better job in removing the wrinkles.
I don't think the smell is too over powering.

When I bought the Bounce spray I paid $1.87 per bottle. It was a new promotional item at Walmart so the price was low then. Seems it has almost doubled in price. I'm glad I bought a case at that low price. I got a coupon for a free bottle on the Bounce facebook site when it first came out. Coupons always better on the brands facebook page.

Quilting Nonnie 05-10-2012 06:34 AM

I haven't tried or even heard of the Bounce spray. It sounds pretty good.

I have a suggestion for your dilemma with living in Canada. A number of people on the board make their own starch and swear by it. It is less expensive than any starch, including Sta-Flo. Hope this helps. You can always do more searching because there were a lot more listings about starch. Just use starch, corn starch or spray starch for search term.

Hope this helps!

This might be helpful. And for those who asked .. it's a pump!! Thank You Bounce - I refuse to use aerosol. I'll have to check this product out (I'm currently a Best Press user - I dilute it 60%BP 40% water and I buy BP by the gallon as it's cheaper that way).

Edited to add: on the link above, if you look to the right there are places where you can get coupons for Bounce products, including the spray.

I have mixed Best Press with Bounce spray and have mixed starch with the Bounce and have mixed all three together. I have wonderful degrees of crispness!

Is the Niagra pump spray starch not available in your area? This is what I use. I'm not averse to other products such as Best Press, but I find that it's more expensive. I'm on the hunt for the Bounce to try it, but if it smells anything like their dryer sheets I probably won't buy it again.

tildiemae 05-10-2012 08:01 AM

I've tried it too and liked it. I didn't like the bottle it came in as it sprayed a stream so I switched it to a misting bottle and now it works much better. Smells do bother me but this didn't.

BellaBoo 05-10-2012 09:04 AM

The bottles I have of it has a stream, spray and off setting.

I purchased this at Walmart

EvelynJ 05-10-2012 03:03 PM

I'll have to try that. The starch I have is older and tries to leave a white film, not pretty at all.

penski 05-10-2012 08:03 PM

thank you for bringing this up , i have heard of bounce ironong spray but have not found it at walmart yet but i will keep looking and try it out

Ditto. I'd never heard of it before & I thought I was pretty hip on laundry stuff. I usually use sizing instead of starch but I'll have to look for this. Do they have it at Wal-Mart (heck, Rebecca... they have EVERYTHING at Wal-Mart! If you looked hard enough, you could probably find the Hope Diamond there!)?
