I like the crisp feeling of starched clothing, but don't like canned spray starch. I have heard that cornstarch can be used to starch clothing. Can anyone please explain to me how to do this?

There is powdered laundry starch. The way I understand that you use it is to wash your clothes add starch to the final rinse and then iron. I'm sure there are instructions on the box somewhere.

I use starch that comes in a box made by Argo. You can buy it from the Vermont Country Store. They have a website: www.vermontcountrystore.com. The starch has to be added to water and heated on the stove to dissolve before you add it to your clothes in the washer. I use it to make tired dress shirts look like new for a long time and it does wonders for limp curtains. Blessings Peggy
