Don't mean to sound rude, but there may be alot of folks in the store don't know what spray starch is. Look in the softener section, high and low, for both the cans and liquid. I have not seen the liquid in eeons. Don't forget to try Tru-value Hardware stores. If you are near any Amish stores, they might have it.

Reminds me when I had surgery and couldn't walk but a few steps at a time, I sent my young DD into the grocery store to get a can of English Peas. She came out and said the store didn't have any. I knew that was almost impossible so sent her back in to ask someone. She came back out and said the worker said the store didn't sell English peas, he couldn't find them. 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.

Our Wal-mart in Illinois has both spray cans and the mix your own liquid. I never realized it was a problem to find in some places.

It's up to the dept manager to order it. If that dept manager doesn't use it or thinks it won't sell then it isn't ordered. It's listed in the order book all Walmarts use to order from the warehouse.

Yeah its great! Your regular Safeway should have it. And you can pour out and save half, fill the bottle with water for a diluted mix that works just as well for me! Later just make a mix with any old liquid starch and refill your bottle.

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 bought my niagara spray at the grocery store. The walmart has the big jugs you mix plus aerosol and pump sprays. About 6 or 7 different kinds.

The bottle says Fabric Refresher. Just makes you clothes smell good. I actually buy Dollar Trees brand and it works fine.
