Yes, I have tried it. I purchased it in Az and now I can't find it here. Makes me so mad. But, I have been making my own.
1 cup staflo
1 cup water
1 cup fabreeze
I guess if you can't find Staflo the recipe won't help you. Sorry.

Just curious, what is liquid Febreeze? ZI seem to use it in everything else, but havent seen any liquids , what is its purpose?Other than smelling good!LOL

the febreeze is just added so you will enjoy the experience more. =) I've done this and when the heat hits its its pretty amazing. But in all honestly its just a waste..

I think people add Fabreeze so it will smell more Like Best Press, or whatever it is.

I was getting frustrated so sent her in again to look at the pictures on the can and buy the can that looked like the peas we always ate. She came back out with a can of SWEET PEAS and said that was the only thing the young clerk and her could find. LOL.

Sorry, I have never heard of English Peas either!!!

I found spray starch at Walmart in Washington today. One brand about 5 different kinds.

For years the sweet peas were labeled English peas. Sweet peas became the more popular name and sold more labeled Sweet Peas.

They even have it at the dollar store here.

Should have told everyone that it was by the fabric softener.

Best Press is also my favorite. There are many scents, but I really like the lavender as well.
