Starch alternative

Posted by Sunny on April 13, 2008, 12:55 pm

Have any of you used the new product -- clear -- that's an alternative
to starch? I used some and loved it. Fresh fragrance and really good
texture of fabric afterward. But it's darned expensive. I'm wondering
if anybody knows what's in the stuff and if there's a way to get it
and mix your own.

I definitely mix my own starch in a spray bottle. But I love the way
this new product doesn't leave starch marks or flakes and doesn't have
to be shaken each time you want to spray. Also, great texture and hand
for the fabric.

I don't know what's in it but I do know there's another less expensive
starch alternative by Dryel. I haven't personally used it but I've heard
good things about it....... nice finish, no flaking or build up, etc. I
think it's sold in supermarkets and maybe discount stores.

Thanks for that info, Jeri. My sister will be going down to SC soon
and this is something that I can ask her to look out for. I checked
the Dryel website and there is a coupon available to request by mail
for anyone who is interested. jennellh

Okay, another product to try. LOL. I am a huge sucker for new
products, gadgets, notions. I'm headed to Dryel site right now to get
that coupon and then it's off to try to find the product in a store
here. Wal-Mart, maybe?

still hung up on that clear sizing stuff.

I don't know what Sunny does -- but I buy the liquid starch by the bottle...
and then pour it into a little 99 cent spray bottle where I dilute it
SUBSTANTIALLY. It gives me the "crispyness" that I like in fabric -- but
because there is so little starch in the water... I never have to worry
about flaking.

Does anybody know the actual namme of the new starch alternative products?
