Best Press is spray starch. The reason why you don't get scorching or brown stuff on your iron is because Best Press has added surfactants to make the starch absorb into the fabric faster and easier.

Try spraying the starch, then either let it sit for a few minutes, or if you're like me and can't wait, spray a fine mist of water on top. The water will help the starch absorb into the fabric and you won't get the brown flakes.
