Buckeye and I were posting at the same time, same information. LOL

I use this method and make a replacement for Mary Ellen's Best Press. I use the cheapest vodka I can find at the package store. I do not soak anything with the finished product I simply use a spray bottle and spray it on. I wouldn't drink it as I also add stay flo starch to the mixture and also some fragrance oil. Ann in TN

I use 2 cups water, 1/4 c CHEAP vodka, a few drops of 100% essential oil ( I like lavendar), mix it together and put it in my spray bottle (the kind with a fine mist setting). Does exactly the same job as Best Press. For spray starch I use 1 part StaFlo starch concentrate to 4 parts water. mix it and put it in a spray bottle. I keep it in the fridge so it doesn't spoil as fast.

Wow. This is all news to me. Ok, I'm game. Where do you buy the essential oils?

Thanks Val I will try this!!!

If you live in an area with high humidity it may not be the best thing for you to use. I live in an area with very low humidity, so I don't have to worry about the possibility of the bugs.
