I use a couple small bottles I got from the dollar bin. Love them. But, when empty I flush out the nozzles in hot water so there is no residue. I use one of them for a glue/water mixture I use for other projects and it works fine - even with a glue mix. Only difference is that I empty that one with every project, no long term storage.

Thanks, Kitsie. I haven't seen this before, but you can believe that I'll be looking for it now. LOL. I love to starch my fabric as I use it and the Niagra in the spray can just doesn't do a great job and gums up the iron after awhile.
Thanks, again, for the information. |
That's the bottle I've been using for a year or more and never had a problem until recently. WELL, DUH!! Maybe if I take the nozzle out and rinse it well after each days use, it will be just fine. Was it? YES, OF COURSE.
Sometimes I amaze myself! But you all led me to the solution so many, many thanks! |

Hi All,
I'm confused, are you using a powdered starch? What brand and where do you get it? I used to use a powdered starch years ago, but haven't seen in years, I have even forgotten the brand I used. Now I just use Niagra from the dollar store. It is not as good, but it is all I've seen. Thanks in advance. |
I can still buy powdered starch at the local grocery store. You have to boil it. I keep a few boxes so my grands will know what it is and how to make it. Same with laundry bluing. Anyone still use that? I do.

I got a bottle at a beauty supply store - Sally's if you have one. It is meant for misting with hair spray and water and is very fine mist. It was very inexpensive. I love the way to dispenses Best Press too. It sure makes that go further.

The best mist sprayer I have found is one I bought at the beauty salon. They mist hair all the time. Wasn't too expensive either. It puts out mist, not drops. A sprayer to mist plants and vegetables sounds good too.
I also use the bottle from Best Press and fill it with Sta Flo: one part starch to five parts water. Works wonderfully. I also found out that my grocery store no longer carries Sta Flo. Walmart has it and maybe Target. Or you can get it online. |
