starch on iron
#3
The starch wipes right off of my iron if I run it over a damp towel. I spray pretty heavy, but let the fabric completely dry before ironing. I didn't notice as much build up on my old iron this way.

Not every starch is non-flaking......some will quickly build up on your iron.......I now use only Mary Ellen's Best Press.....would be pricey, but I use the 50% off coupon from my Joann's fliers, and order it from their on-line store.....I can get a gallon for about $24.00......
