    What is the difference between the two?

    Why is one better than the other?

    Does the vodka not attack bugs?

    Starch will attrack bugs AND roaches. I personally use sizing which DOESN'T attrack bugs. Vodka...well I have never used vodka. So I haven't any idea sorry. Someone will know soon I am sure.

    I read somewhere that Costume Designers use vodka because it gives just the right amount of crispness without any smell.

    The difference? Vodka has alcohol, Starch doesn't!

    I only drink vodka. Starch , not so good :shock:

    I've never really heard of this. Seems expensive and a waist of good vodka!
