I also water it down. And I get the same results. I have cotton blouses that are a pain to get wrinkles out. Mary Ellen's works beautifully, with very little effort.

Is this product a sizing? starch? or?

What did it do to your iron?

You now have me wondering what I should be watching for!

I Love Mary Ellen's but will try diluting with water and see how it holds up. I will also try the Faultless Maxx Michael recommended.

Tried it once, nice fragrance, but believe it's too pricey. I buy a large bottle of Niagra non-aerosol spray bottle at W/Mart for about $2.00 and love it.

I love it. Buy the gallon and it has lasted for a year. I like that I never have seen it flake. I use a lot of black backgrounds so this is very important. :-)

I love it, but it got way to expensive. Made my own starch with cornstarch and water and a couple drops of lavender oil. It's a little cloudy and you have to shake it up, but it smells good, does what I want and doesn't flake!
