Help please with Mary Ellen's Best Press
I've starched fabric before using Sta-Flo. Then I starched the fabric, put in plastic bag for about a 1/2 hour so it could soak in, tumbled in dryer until just slightly damp, and pressed.
The Best Press bottle says just spray and press. When I do that my iron gets the residue all over it, even when using a pressing sheet.
Can someone who has used this product tell me where I'm going wrong? Thanks so much!

I spray it on and let it set for 5 minutes or so and I have had no problem with it. Now, you don't need to saturate it like you do with spray starch. I love the aroma of it and it does a wonderful job. Also, I do use 1/2 cup of Best Press and 1/2 cup of water in my sprayer and it makes the Best Press last longer and it does a good job for me.

Cooky, I have used both and I don't put the fabric to dry in the dryer..I wait until whatever you're using to be absorbed, then press, if your iron is getting yuk on it it's because it isn't hot enough , use the steam setting first when pressing it evens out the starch/best press, go back to dry setting on the iron, continue pressing until the fabric is dry..
