Homemade Spray Starch
Make your own spray starch, and enjoy crisp collars and pleats on the cheap.
- 1 heaping tablespoon corn starch
- 1 pint cold water
- 1-2 drops essential oil, optional (See Essential Oils For Cleaning Your Home)
Combine the cornstarch and water in a bowl, and stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. (The mixture will be milky in color)
Add in a couple drops of essential oil for fragrance, if desired.
Then, transfer to a spray bottle, and use.
Tips:
- For best results, shake before each use.
- A little goes a long way, so use sparingly.
- Starching clothes actually makes them last longer because dirt and perspiration sticks to the starch and not to the fabric
