I was reading the post about using best press and thought I'd share a recipe I found on a blog to make your own. I use it everyday and I love it.
2 Cups distilled water
2 oz. alcohol (i use reg rubbing alcohol)
6-12 drops fragrance (i use peppermint essential oil)
1/3 Cup liquid starch
It works beautifully and is much less expensive

Welcome from Idaho.
I use vodka for the alcohol, but I don't need to worry about the bugs it can attract because of very low himidity.

Thanks for the recipe. I love this stuff. It's getting to be very expensive since I use so much.
