Question on spray starch made with cornstarch
I used the recipe for 1 1/2 cups water, 1/2 cup fabreze, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. There is a lot of cornstarch still on bottom even though I have shaken it several times. Did I do something wrong, and what can I do to fix?
Thanks in advance!

I use a recipe that you boil the water and then whisk in powdered corn starch. It works well but even with a tsp. of vodka in it, it goes stale after about 2 weeks. I have purchased the Bounce ironing spray at Walmart and I am going to see if it compares to the homemade stuff.

When DH first went into the army, his uniforms had to be starched so stiff they would almost stand alone. I boiled so much starch and spent so many hours over a hot iron I learned to hate starch and ironing. I now use spray starch and it works just fine for me.
