Okay, back in the day, my momma used real starch. She mixed it with water to the strength she wanted and then rinsed the clothes in them, hung em on the line and then when it came time to iron, she used a spray capped coke bottle for a sprinkling bottle, sprinkled the clothes, rolled em up and stuck em in the fridge for a few hours before ironing. 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. |

it should be right near the cans, you can get liquid or powder

Your memories are like mine, except we did not put them in refrigerator/ice box - it was very small.
