Where to Buy Spray Starch for Ironing Clothes?

[matrix82]

Hi,

I am looking for spray starch to use for ironing. I have some cotton dress shirts and clothing I want to give a really crisp ironing. I can't seem to find it. I've looked at the local co-op and Jean Coutu. Other stores are an hour away, so I want to make sure that the store carries it before I drive the hour into town.

Have you seen it anywhere? Walmart, Zellers, Canadian Tire, Sobeys?

Shoppers used to carry it and I would think you could get it at the SS ,Sobeys and WM as well.

Thanks. I will have to make a trip into town tomorrow. Just didn't want to take a trip into town if they didn't carry it.

Pretty much anywhere would have it - bigger department stores are a maybe, and grocery stores like Safeway for sure - some of us oldies still do use it, lol!

I wasn't sure if it had been discontinued, first time in my life buying it, but my suits etc are starting to lack stiffness from handwashing rather than dry cleaning.

Any large grocery store would have it I think. I haven't bought it in 10 years though, since my husband got out of the military! Used to use it on his uniforms

Actually I found some at the dollar store about a month ago, but I usually buy it at superstore in the laundry soap etc. section, it is in a blue spray can and is called EASY On Speed Starch.. Bounce also has a new product out that is a spray starch and it is called Bounce Ironing spray, it is in an orange spray bottle and I have seen it at most grocery stores and Walmart. Both work really well. Just be carefull not to saturate the clothes when you use it on darks because it tends to leave little white flakes that are noticeable on dark clothes. I didn't know I knew so much about laundry starch!!! But I love linen tablecloths and I still starch all my husband's shirts.Good luck finding it.
