I found the sizing and regular starch spray cans at the dollar store. Try there.

Funny that this is here today...last week I ran out of the Spray starch I buy from Walmart and I tried the cornstarch! It worked and you do have to shake it alot while ironing. I like it and it is so cheap!

My mother only put the sprinkled ironing in the fridge if she couldn't finish it that day, other wise it could mildew. I liked some things starched and still do but I haven't seen anything but spay starch in a long time. It is also a good craft item, used to mix liquid (or liquifed powder) starch and poster paint and let the kids fingerpaint.

I remember my mother using Argo starch. It came in a box. She also ate it, which a lot of women did in that day.

I bought these for sprinkling tiny seedlings without washing them away.

Or you could buy a real vintage cork bottle top sprinkler...

Or maybe a bottle shaped like a maid? :)

The Argo brand corn starch is in the baking isle...I use it for gravy, puddings...and sometimes doilies.

What a sweet memory... I can even hear the sound of the starch in the bottle while momma was "sprinkling" everything. I've missed that crisp feel in shirts!! If I remember correctly, we went from that to polyester double knits... no wonder momma loved that stuff so much!!
