Spray starch a game changer

Just back from Best of Spain (which turned out to best BoS + COVID but that’s another story).

I spray starched all of my cotton/linen tops and dresses and it was a game changer!

I unrolled my clothes and hung them up. They were creased and awful. By the next morning everything looked GREAT. Added bonus dirt just seemed to roll off the clothes.

I used plain old spray starch. Iron/starch/ iron again/ starch again then roll and pack.

Yes, this does work very well. I do the same with blouses, but I find it really useful with cotton skirts and skorts. They resist wrinkles even when sitting on them for extended periods of time. Mine have continued to stay pretty neat and wrinkle-free after 3 washes so far.

I have my "travel" shirts starched (med/heavy) by a laundry before a trip. They will look good for multiple wears. I learned that from business travel.
