I listened to Ricky Tims and for 2 years I only used a dry Rowenta iron. However, sometimes I would iron the
fabric and when I picked it up to fold it, it didn't look crisp or as if it had been ironed at all. If I were careful
and put the iron in place for 5 seconds then it was fine. I felt like I would develop varicose veins before I
finished ironing. My husband ironed his chinos and left water in the iron. When I next went to iron, I had
steam and it was miraculous- the fabrics emerged crisp and well-ironed.
Also I would just like to plug Best Press starch alternative. I used the unscented and buy it in gallon sizes
and refill the original 16oz spray bottle that I bought to test it - never a white spot on the fabric and
perfect crispness, as if I hadn't prewashed and Retayned all my fabric.
