Weird experience with starch. Is this normal??

Just read the label on my bottle of Best Press. Says it is a "clear starch alternative" -- whatever that means. Also says at the top of the label "SCENT FREE MIRACLE STARCH." Anyway, I use it on fabric that has been dried in the electric dryer, just the way you use sprinkles of water. I don't think it is intended for unwashed fabrics.

I use Best Press for all my pressing, including my clothing. You do have to make sure you don't over saturate the fabric, just like with regular starch. I lightly mist my fabrics and then I iron or press them dry. The finish can't be beat, and there is no flaking as with some spray starches. FYI I water my Best Press down and I get the same results as if I used it full strength. I get the jumbo bottle at Hancock's with a coupon and it is worth the money. IMHO!
