If you are allergic to scents and the alcohol evaporates quickly away, what is left besides the water? Isn't it starch from the potatoes that the vodka is made from? So isn't this just more expensive, very weak starch?

Okay -- just had a thought. We have some Raspberry vodka here.....we don't drink much -- obviously, it's been here for 8 yrs. I think I'll try this formula and see if the raspberry in it causes any problems with the fabrics. :) :) :)

I can just see me asking my DH to stop at the liquor store so I can pick up some vodka to use when I iron. Oh yea, that will go over really well.
This sounds silly enough, I want to try it.
Hmmm, going to town tom. I think I will! :)

The alcohol evaporates when heated with the iron.
