Any starch in the starting liquid is left behind, only the alcohol molecule is siphoned off. There is no starch in vodka. The government would classify starch as a contaminant, production of hard liquor is tightly regulated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252234615148212034.post-49762089420449487522019-12-19T15:31:48.872-06:002019-12-19T15:31:48.872-06:00I was told to use Potato Vodka and water.

(I haven't tried the recipe yet because I can't bring myself to spend money on vodka when I could spend it on fabric.) Anyway, the recipe is for Lavender Linen Spray and I found it in Country Living magazine, p. 56 of the July/August, 2013 issue. Most fragrances are too strong, esp. in laundry soap, dryer sheets, etc., but lavender in moderation is one I love. I'm sorry your new pressing spray didn't work.<br /><br />I also wanted to say I love the illustration of the lady and the clothesline.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252234615148212034.post-76367102715434770972013-09-24T20:25:14.354-05:002013-09-24T20:25:14.354-05:00Oh my goodness, this is hilarious!!!
