niagra...cut in half... and put in a different spray bottle...I don't care for the way the Niagra bottle sprays

I use Best Press. I buy it by the gallon and then I mix with water in my sprayer. Check out Mary Ellens website. She has freee shipping if you order 50.00. She has a lot of other stuff!

I use sta-flo and water
|
Well, that too helps:o but the vodka and water does make a good substitute for the expensive "Best Press".
|
I can't afford the best press either, but, I use the sta flo concenrate. I mix it 1/2 sta flo and 1/2 water. I use filtered water, just so there is a few less chemical. Just my choice, don't know if it makes any difference.

I use the Best Press on my garments as well. LOVE it.

I will stand behind the Best Press. I always buy the refill bottle when I have a 50% off coupon and refill my spray bottle. I get mine at Hancock Fabrics. My favorite LQS sells it too but for much more than Hancock's. I also water mine down. I will use about 2/3 best press to 1/3 water in my spray bottle. I get the same results as if I use it full strength. I use it when I iron/press anything, including clothes.

I made up the mixture of the vodka and water and essential oil. I LOVE it. It gives a smooth finish like the expensive stuff. I tried starch alone, then the homemade ironing spray alone, to test For finish work I like the ironing spray best. I use it on my clothes too. What I have been doing with my fabric is spraying it with a light mixture of starch , rolling it and when I am ready to iron spraying it with the ironing spray. OH BTW you are not limited to lavender. I used Rosemary for clearing my head while I iron. I have also used Peppermint to wake me up. But make sure they are essential oils not cooking extracts. Big difference. :-) |

Hubby always says he can tell when I've got the iron on, because the upstairs smells like happy hour. With the citrus stuff, he asked if I wanted a bottle of champagne to go with it, for fuzzy navels. :D |
I really like Best Press but like the Niagra non-aerosol price much better. Depends on what I am working on which I use. Both work very well.
