Put this in your cart, you will love it
I really like this product. The smell is great and it does exactly what I needed to without any white residue getting on my clothes. Highly recommend.

Great product
This stuff works great! I do a lot of quilting and having nicely pressed fabric is necessary. Not too heavy or stiff. I ordered the lavender fragrance which is nice but not too much. It’s a bit pricy but worth it.

No white residue
It worked well in reducing wrinkles and keeping fabric smooth. I haven't seen any white residue and don't expect to in the future.

Must-have for quilting!
I started quilting during the Pandemic. I was upset when my go-to starch, which I have been using since college, put burnt marks all over my $70 iron that would release itself all over a white fabric I was using in my latest quilting project. I decided to try this starch alternative after reading rave reviews on quilting blogs. I am glad I did. I was able to safely remove the burnt stains on my iron using a Dritz product before I started using this starch alternative. I love this product. I have NO more burnt starch on my iron and I have been ironing a lot. There are no flakes, either. It is a different product than normal grocery store spray starch. It spritzes on like water and I don’t feel the starchy type hold until it dries, unlike my old starch. I am really confused why anyone used this product to soak an item then, gave it a one-star review. This product is meant to be sprayed then ironed. I am not a big fan of the scent. It isn’t bad but it smells nothing like lavender. I have a lavender bush in front of my home. I know what lavender smells like and normally when a product advertises that it is lavender scented, it smells like lavender. This product doesn’t, though. I have also purchased linen scent and that, too, doesn’t smell like typical linen scented products. The smell is only okay. This company definitely needs help with scents, for sure. The product is still a must-have if you are sewing and ironing a lot!

No sprayer, just a refill bottle
The picture showed a spray bottle. I received a bottle with a cap, no sprayer came with it. I have my old spray bottle that I can use, but it is annoying just the same. I do like the product very much. It helps remove wrinkles, doesn’t flake like starch does, and smells wonderful and fresh

Makes ironing easier
Product really works !!! It releases wrinkles and makes ironing/steaming so much easier. I received the bottle without the sprayer but I still love the product. I recommend.
