I love it along with Mary Ellen's though its much more expensive than the Niagara one. I can't find the Niagara spray (liquid) in lavender though, it has such a nice scent to it and I don't have a problem with flakes either.

I can still smell it. Mom had a coke bottle with a spout with holes that she sprinkled clothes with. Dad wore kaki pants & she starched & ironed them. Had these pants frames to stretch them out but I can't remember if she put them on before or after ironing them. Funny how things come back around. DS always wears starched shirts & jeans unless he is wearing a tee shirt.[/quote]
My mom (and us girls) used that for sprinkling clothes,as well. My grandma used an orange crush bottle with that little sprinkler thing for vinegar at her fish and chip stand. Memories!!

Insects???? Now I recall that hearing that which is why I bought the Mary Ellen's Best Press instead. I starched because the teacher said to starch before cutting and thought the Niagara would do better.
I don't plan to wash right after constructing so what's the chance I'd get insects in, let's say, 4 to 6 months?
