Does the essential oil hurt the fabric in any way? I love lavendar and would love to add it to my starch.

I read that you should add vodka to the mix if you use essential oils in water. It stabilizes the mixture.

The homemade worked fine but it would mold in the bottle if kept very long.
My mom used to keep her starch in the fridge to make it last longer.

No essential oil doesn't hurt the fabric.

WOW - y'all are ambitious! Because of time restraints, I won't be making my own starch for a while. I don't like flaking either. I use Mary Ellen's Best Press and I buy it by the gallon.

I like Bella Boo's recipe... but I'd rather put the whiskey in me... and use cornstarch and water in the bottle! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

When using Niagara spray starch be sure to wash out the little spray tip each time. I also blow on the hole to get the water out.
