I found a "recipe" for Best Press on Pinterest using vodka, lavender essential oil, liquid starch, and water. IMO it works great and not nearly the price of Best Press.

okay best press is great, but you can make your own. search for the recipe on the board. i think it was 1 cup on vodka and a quart of distilled water.

Hi Guys,
Can you give me your opinions on Best Press.... I have seen it over here (UK) but it is rather expensive £8.00 per bottle....... So before Imsplash out I would love to hear what you all think of it. Hugs Caroline They gave some reviews & they were favorable. It takes about $15.00 worth of product & gives you 2 gallons of "Best Press" This is the recipe: 1 tsp Essential Oil (for aroma only) & can be omitted 3 oz. Vodka (vodka comes from potatoes & they are a natural starch) 24 oz. Distilled Water 1 drop of Food Coloring (optional) Put in a spray bottle & there you go. I am definitely going to try it & if you get bored you can always have a sip (leave out the essential oil though) Anybody else wanna give it a try ........................... |
I love it! Now I use it for any ironing I need to do. I try to buy it with coupons at Hancock's but will check Amazon, hadn't thought of that. I've tried other sprays from the grocery store but most have a bad smell to me. I used to use Magic Sizing on my clothes but once I used the BP, I don't buy it anymore.

I won a small bottle at a guilt show and really like it. my only problem is it makes me cough every time i try to use it so if you have any asthma or lung issues please be careful until you know how it affects you.

I, too, buy it by the gallon and love it. It doesn't stick on my iron.
|
I love this product also, better than starch.
|
I love it, but you can also stretch it out by diluting in 1/2 with water. One of my LA teachers said she uses it 1/2 str to get out the wrinkles on backings she put on the quilting frame before quilting.
|
I use it and love it. It works as well as starch and it doesn't leave white flakes on dark fabrics.
|
Add me to the Love It group. I bought a medium size bottle as a refill, but going for the gallon from Amazon next time. I normally pick up the unscented version.
