I have been making my own pressing spray.
2 cups distilled water (guess boiled would do) 2 oz rubbing alcohol 6 -12 drops of essential oil (sweetpea or lavender my favs) 1/3 cup liquid starch. Put in spray bottle. Shake before each use. I like this a lot. |

The clothes always ironed up so crisp and sharp. Why can't I find that old fashioned starch now. I have to buy that old magic sizing stuff and it doesn't make my fabric near as crisp.
Anybody know where I can buy the old fashioned kind of starch? Or even the old Niagara Spray Starch? All I can find is that Magic Sizing stuff. |
Thanks for the memories, my grandmother would wash on Monday and iron on Tuesday. She would pull the wash out and have her starch ready in a bowl, then would put statch what she wanted and then hang them to dry... then she would sprinkle them and they would sit over night... they always looks sooo crips and smell sooo good.

I buy Sta-flow at the commissary and use it in the washing machine.
